| May 1, 2018 at 13:39 | comment | added | safesphere | There are two problems with your interpretation. (1) The radius of the event horizon depends on the frame of reference. As you fall into the black hole, you would see the event horizon shrinking in front of you, so in your falling frame you never cross it until you hit the singularity. (2) You speak of the event horizon as of some place, such as "plane" or "surface". This is incorrect. A surface is a space-like object. However, the event horizon is a ligh-tlike object. So it is not a surface in space that you could cross, but more like a set of worldliness of beams of light. | |

| May 1, 2018 at 9:38 | comment | added | John Rennie | See the question I've linked. It's true that light can't move outwards at or inside the event horizon, but because you're falling inwards you catch up with the light being emitted outwards. So even inside the black hole light appears to be travelling normally. | |
