In one case you may see it fairly soon, in another - in a trillion years (assuming a magic ability to detect photons redshifted to a nearly zero energy). It depends on how close to the horizon the last flipping occurs. In any case, from your perspective, the flashlight never crosses the horizon whether or not you see its light. | |
