My caveat is my knowledge is old and I canāt remember what I had for breakfast but I believe the black hole is the whole (heh) shebang including the event horizon so I would say you do see it. You donāt see the singularity within the black hole.(or anything between it and where light canāt escape, if there is anything)

This is interesting also - I read recently that gravity is the curving of space and time, and that space and time are synonymous.
This might be too much for my little brain to handle -
Okay - that was heavy -

We are getting pretty technical here, and a lot comes down to how things are defined. I have always thought of the event horizon as the ring around the black hole. With that way of thinking they would be separate. What matters, is that I think we can be reasonably sure that they exist. What I am not sure on is if one could accomplish near immortality (by outside observers), while only experiencing a brief moment of time by approaching the edge of the event horizon.
If you pull hard enough, for enough reps on the X3 Bar Elite you will flatten out the universe. Like pulling on a tablecloth to get the wrinkles out. The X3 links you to the fabric of the universe. What good is lifting weights when you can be lifting planets?

Mine too.
Like when people talk about this kind of stuff on the discovery channel all I can think of is āOk. But how 'bout dem titties?ā.
Thereās more to the univers than just subatomic particles & shit.
Edit: Somewhere in the world Dr. Matt just punched the monitor.

So - the link to waves is about the model for gravity. The model that predicts this event is the same one that uses waves.
How to arrive some where before setting of.
1st thing - light (in a vacuum) moves at a constant speed. This is all important. Nothing effects this. There are several other thought experiments that show this.
But setting off before arriving:
Imagine a space ship - its 182k miles tall, this would mean, if you shine a light at the top it take a whole second to get to the bottom. This is model 1
Imagine one day you take off. At the same time you shine the light at the top. It take 1 second to move from the top to the bottom. BUT because we have been accelerating - the bottom of the ship is now say 91k miles from the surface of earth. Model 2
Let say we we do it again - but this time we go faster. And we accelerate so hard - the light reaches us once the bottom of the ship reaches 182k. Model 3
Now whole hog and the bottom of the ship is not 364km from the earth. Model 4.
Speed = distance/time. And the speed of light MUST remain the same in all of them. So any changes to the distance covered by the light MUST be mirrored by the time taken to do so. So if you double the distance - it will take double the time. BUT we are reducing the effective distance light covered
Model 1
Speed of light is constant = D (1) / T (1)
Model 2,
The light traveled Ā½ the distance - so half the time passed.
SoL = D (.5) / T (.5)
Model 3 = the light covered 0 ground effectively. It hits your eyes at the same height it was emitted from.
SoL = D (0) / T (0)
Model 4
Now the fucked up stuff. If you could move this fast (its not possible with our current understanding) BUT if you could. You would be 182km past where the light was emitted from before seeing it.
SoL = D (-1) / T (-1)
Its all VERY theory based. But the models the guys made are stacking up.

So itās like a relative motion problem, but instead of two objects itās object and light, right?
I think my brain will decay first. This is one of my favorite ābadā movies that drove all my science grad friends crazy:
How can anyone not love a movie where a character has to use a fucking aerosol can as a flame gun on a apple to show the earth burning up after spouting a ton of scientific gibberish in a room full of the top minds in the country?
āThe inner core and the outer core. You following me?ā
Cracks me up every time.
And, hey, did you all know itās ok to casually walk around at the ācenter of the earthā as depicted in the Godzilla vs Kong universe which the characters travelled to because itās the āonly place they could find a source of energy powerful enough to power Mechagodzillaā because of the āextreme levels of radiationā there?
Not motion. Acceleration.
There is āno such thing as motionā. If you remove all other frames of reference what ever you are looking at is siting still. Or accelerating / decelerating (this includes changes if direction).

Thatās wrong. All wrong.

It can under the right circumstances
Like most of astrophysics a lot of this is speculation.

Kind of. Part of it is due the fact that light behaves both as a wave and a particle. Itās this fact that allows gravity to ābendā light.
The thought experiment above though ignores the relativistic effects one would experience at the speed of light. We donāt think we can travel faster than light currently, but there was a time when the sound barrier was considered impassable (slightly different physics, but both are in essence waves)
My ASD removed some social skills but it gifted me some science skills instead.

I believe time was made for humans. The cosmos doesnāt need recognition of itself. Theological teachings I would say, line up with usual theoretical teachings as well. Not all the time, though. I think outside of time and space itās just infinity. No need for mechanisms to keep a balance. It justā¦is. I believe in God, and to me I believe God exists outside of constraints. Where you can be here and there at the same time. Of course thereās the arguments for if heās even there at all, and I believe, by choice, if a being can be anywhere and everywhere, he can also be absolutely nowhere if he so chooses. He chooses to be. And to subject himself to existence amongst his creation. Just with that, I donāt find anything a waste of time. ESPEACIALLY weightlifting.
