I'm just a reader, but Kip Thorne doesn't agree with your picture. In his book, he claims you wouldn't notice passing through the event horizon, except for extreme tidal forces that would tear you apart. The time freezing and red shifting reverse so that looking away from the center, distant objects move faster and are bluer.
His book for the layman is Black Holes and Time Warps.
- shagie 7y agoThe tidal forces depend on the size of the black hole. http://www.hawking.org.uk/into-a-black-hole.html http://www.hawking.org.uk/into-a-black-hole.html > ... If you fall towards a black hole feet first, gravity will pull harder on your feet than your head, because they are nearer the black hole. The result is, you will be stretched out longwise, and squashed in sideways.. If the black hole has a mass of a few times our sun, you would be torn apart, and made into spaghetti, before you reached the horizon. However, if you fell into a much larger black hole, with a mass of a million times the sun, you would reach the horizon without difficulty. So, if you want to explore the inside of a black hole, choose a big one. There is a black hole of about a million solar masses, at the center of our Milky way galaxy.
