Just to get this out here in advance this isn't a question about warping into smartbomb camps. This is about leaving one.

Lets say I go through a stargate. Would it be possible for a smartbomb camp on the other side to blow me up without any chance of me escaping whether I try to go back through the gate or try to just warp out?

It would really depend on the coverage of the smart bombs and how close they are to you. If they gave plenty of pilots, you are out of luck. If you have a fast ship and they only have a few BSes on the far side of the gate from you, probably not an issue. It really depends on the size and quality of the camp.

Even the size of the gate matters. A normal gate would not need as much cover as a regional gate.

95% of smartbomb camps cover the specific vector that inbound ships from another gate would make. You can even dodge these by warping to a point that's on the opposite side, so as to approach the gate where they aren't smartbombing.

Even with 10 disco BS on a small gate, the odds are good for you.

Unless they are using EM officer smartbombs ofc.

If relativity equals time plus momentum, what equals relativity, if the momentum is minus to the time?

Yes, but it would take several dozen battleships to cover a significant part of the jump-in space. It's not something that happens often, but if your survival is crucial, get a scout in first.
