### Where is the black hole information paradox?

If an object falls into a Schwarzschild black hole and a distant observer watches, they see the object fall slower and slower as it approaches the event horizon, until it is "frozen." (To the observer,...

### How long does it take for the image of an object falling into a black hole to disappear?

From what I've read on other questions and answers, an outside observer cannot see an object fall into a black hole, but rather the image of the object will look like it is stuck on the surface of the ...

### Why can't gravity force an object past the speed of light? [duplicate]

I hope this question is not a duplicate (it doesn't seem to be) and that it is appropriate for this site. If we had a universe with only two bodies. One is ultra massive, and the other is very small. ...

### Do orbiting masses accelerate or decelerate (relative to us) near black holes? [duplicate]

Apologies if this question seems stupid; I was just curious after watching a documentary, and I am not a trained astrophysicist. Simply put, I cannot reconcile the (perhaps misunderstood) facts that ...

### Black Holes and Time [duplicate]

My understanding is that if I am outside a black hole and watch something fall in, the object will appear to slow down and will never actually get sucked in. So how can we ever get a black hole if ...

### How do growing event horizons affect observations of objects falling into black holes? [closed]

There are many questions on this forum about objects falling into black holes. Most of them describe that to distant observers, the objects never quite reach the event horizons and appear to be frozen ...

### Is the M87 black hole really a black hole? [duplicate]

I apologize if this is a silly question, but... From what I've been told, new black holes cannot form, because time slows to nearly stopped as matter approaches the event horizon. Instead, a new ...

### Can matter actually cross the event horizon effectively falling into a Black hole? [duplicate]

The answers I have seen do not take into effect the growth of the radius of the event horizon as significant amounts of matter get close to the existing event horizon. I would have expected that ...

### How can our universe have black holes? [duplicate]

Assuming that we were never inside a blackhole at any point in the history of the universe, how can blackholes exist against Gravitational time dilation? For any point in space time in the known ...

### Do you see the outside world from inside the black hole (can you see past the horizon from inside it)? [duplicate]

I have read these questions: If you fall in a black hole, when do you go past the event horizon? Can matter really fall through an event horizon? How can anything ever fall into a black hole as ...

### How is it possible to enter a black hole, given time dilation?

This is a bit of a complex question - example scenario: X and Y (who happen to be immune from radiation and gravitation spaghettification, don't draw this into the equation) are some distance from a ...

### How can matter falling into a black hole make it grow?

None of the answers to this question or this question answer my question. Once an object falls past the event horizon, it can no longer act as a source of gravity. Also, if one tiny object falls into ...

### Does an expanding event horizon “swallow” nearby objects?

In a view of a remote observer, an object falling into a black hole is "hanging" at the horizon (slowly falling with a deceleration). Around this moment, the event horizon expands for some reason that ...
Let’s imagine a massive object and an observer. In time $t_0$ the observer pushes an automated test lab having clocks and rulers towards the massive object. Let’s says, it gives $1 \,u_l/u_t$ push to ...
