does time actually stop when you reach a black hole?

Answer 1

To someone watching you from outside the black hole, you would seem to move slower and slower until you would simply appear to stop when you reach the event horizon.
To you falling in, you wouldn't notice anything about time because your perception changes along with reality.

Answer 2

This is only a theoretical issue. No one knows for sure what happens inside of a black hole. Why on earth are you so hung
up on the issue, and whom do you know that has ever been
near one to verify any of this information? the fact that there is
something weird out there and lots of theories exist as to what
it is, or might be are really immaterial to the price of eggs. I don't want to quash your questions, but wouldn't it be more productive to question something which can be studied for real - observed, and valid conclusions reached? When you study and question a thing which is unobservable, you open yourself to all kinds of deep, deep theory and math that most people are unable to fathom.

Answer 3

first, you need to define what is time and black hole. time is a nonscalar quantity which means there is no way to control, describe it perfectly. Black hole is gravity force emit in space. "time stop when you reach a black hole" is a theory not a fact. We don't have the science to prove it.

I am curious why it's important to you because black hole is disaster. Uncontrollabe, wild animal like tornado. it's bad news.

Answer 4

Time is only slowed down at the vicinity of a black hole, not stopped.

Answer 5

time is not an object. i think the term "time stops" or "time freezes" in american movies doesnt really make sense. I watch a serial movie called HEROES, in which a japanese boy can literally stop time. Time cannot be stopped. The fact in the movie about this term is: either, you move extremly very fast--that other moving objects seem to move very slowly......or you move with normal speed but OBJECTS (not TIME) around you stop moving. time cannot be seen or touched, or heard. if it's really an object, then i'd say it is one misterious object different from others.
the only thing that runs similarly anywhere is ONLY time. it cannot move faster in some place, or slower in another.

Answer 6

There's a theory saying yes. However, it isn't relevant, because we wouldn't survive an encounter with a black hole.

Answer 7

As the gravity goes towards infinity your speed of fall aproaches the speed of light. At the speed of light time stops.

Answer 9

this is hard to imagine, but time doesn't exist in a black hole

Answer 10

Yes.
