Abstract
We study proper time () intervals for observers at rest in the universe () and anti-universe () sectors of the Kruskal-Schwarzschild eternal spacetime of mass , and proper lengths () in the black hole (BH) and white hole (WH) sectors. The fact that in asymptotically flat regions, coordinate time at infinity is proper time, leads to a past directed Kruskal time in . In the BH and WH sectors maximal proper lengths coincide with maximal proper time intervals, , in these regions, i.e. with the proper time of radial free falling (ejection) to (from) the singularity starting (ending) from (at) rest at the horizon.
