IIRC: from the point of view of the human, it takes infinite time to reach the event horizon, since their speed will approach the speed of light. So the actual experience of passing through the event horizon never occurs!
- tehwalrus 13y agoThat's approaching the singularity, not the event horizon, no? EDIT: OK, maybe it is, but from which observation point? An external observer may never see someone cross the horizon, but their local time would keep on ticking. Time always seems normal to you, remember, just other peoples' goes crazy in highly relativistic situations.
- pdonis 13y agofrom the point of view of the human, it takes infinite time to reach the event horizon No, it doesn't. The proper time (time by the infalling observer's clock) that it takes to fall to the horizon is finite. their speed will approach the speed of light This isn't correct either. The infaller will see the horizon pass him at the speed of light, but that's because the horizon is a lightlike surface--it is moving outward at the speed of light.
