Does time stop inside black hole?

Does time stop inside black hole?

Near a black hole, the slowing of time is extreme. From the viewpoint of an observer outside the black hole, time stops. Inside the black hole, the flow of time itself draws falling objects into the center of the black hole. No force in the universe can stop this fall, any more than we can stop the flow of time.

Why is time slower near a black hole?

Time also slows as gravity gets stronger, so clocks near a black hole, a star, or even Earth’s surface will tick more slowly than those farther away.

Does time extend to the horizon of a black hole?

Indeed, the entity simply continues through the horizon towards the ‘center’ of the black hole and then ceases to exist at the singularity. We interpret the fact that the Schwarzschild coordinate time does not extend to the horizon as follows: no observer outside the horizon can seean entity reach (or fall through) the horizon in finite time.

Does time stop when you get sucked into a black hole?

Yes, it does! If you’d get sucked in by a black hole you would still experience time. Someone on the outside however would never see you cross the event horizon (border of the blach hole) because the photons are redshifted into invisibility. The roles of space and time would however change roles.

Can you see the future in a black hole?

That depends what you mean by “see the future”. It is true that if you watch the outside world as you are falling into a black hole then you will see time evolve faster there. Everyone’s watches will appear to be running faster than yours, and they will appear to be moving as if someone had pressed the “fast-forward” button.

Can a black hole have a non zero gravitational acceleration?

And the only time division of non-zero constant yields zero is when you divide by infinity. And although black holes are super heavy, super badass and super black, they posses finite energy and therefore finite gravitational acceleration (even at event horizon).
