Relative to an observer on a black hole's event horizon does the universe seem to move faster?

Answer 1

Yes, time does seem to move faster as you approach an event horizon.

Whenever you have two observers, each with a clock, at different distances from a large mass, the observer farthest from the mass will see the nearer observer's clock running slow. The observer nearest the mass will see the farther observer's clock running fast.

A black hole's event horizon extends this principle to its extreme.

At the moment an observer, falling into a black hole, crosses the event horizon, all of time will have passed for the universe that he is leaving behind. Every bit of light that ever would have reached his point does so in the last few moments before the observer crosses the event horizon, and does so through a very narrow cone having its open end away from the singularity.

But I just noticed a problem. If a photon originating at the falling observer would be infinitely red-shifted by the black hole's gravity, relative to a distant observer, then photons from the distant observer must be infinitely blue-shifted relative to an observer at the event horizon. A single photon, infinitely blue-shifted, carries infinite energy... hmm? Where's Stephen Hawking? He might be able to explain this.

Answer 2

The observer near the black hole's event horizon will appear to slow and almost stop to an outside observer. Paradoxially, the rest of the universe will appear to slow and almost stop from the point of view of the the observer falling in the black hole. This is the result of the speed of light delay, which is streached to near zero photon exchange between the two observers as their separation nears the speed of light.

Answer 3

Only if you open your eyes and synchronize them to the rotational flux of the diminishing horizon. Synchronization
is extremely difficult while falling at an increasing rate of speed. Being at the event horizon, one would, of course, move toward the singularity at an ever increasing rate of speed (fall). Also, while poised at the event horizon, perception of other galactic bodies will become increasingly difficult due to the interaction of the hole itself with ambient light from other sources which is naturally sucked (drawn) into the hole itself and absorbed. All light would flash by and dissappear into the hole with only scattered fragments of light protons remaining to impinge upon your eyes yielding vision. Proper synchronization would therefore only be possible for highly trained and experienced navigators.

Answer 4

yes.
taken into account the warping of time space. A black hole is practically immortal. Yes it radiates its mass off as hawking radiation. But it will always invariably absorb mass faster than it can burn off. a true monster. As you get closer to an event horizon. space/time gets compressed. the greater the compression the faster events outside this horizon go. but to you as you speed towards the blackhole its accelerating.
I.E. if you decide for whatever suicidal reason to fly towards a blackhole. Your death would be frightfully quick. but to an outside observer it would take years and years for you to be completely absorbed. This is because you are being stretched to an infinitely long strand of matter. (speghattification)(sp?)

Answer 5

If it was possible to stand on the event horizon of a black hole you would see nothing but light in all directions, there would be no indication of movement of any kind.
