We know that the escape velocity at the schwarzchild radius is c.
Since the escape velocity is defined as the velocity needed to escape from the gravitational field, to reach a total energy of 0 at infinity:
Doesn't this mean that an object falling from infinity starting at rest, to the schwarzchild radius of a black hole will then have a velocity of c? This is obviously wrong, but I can't see where my mistake was.
