Given the time dilation at the event horizon plus black hole evaporation, can anything really ever enter a black hole? [duplicate]
There are many thought experiments about what it would be like to fall into a black hole, spaghettififaction, the singularity at the center and so on. But to me it seems that no object could actually ...

Paradox arising from using a black hole to go into the far future?
Let's say you have a very powerful spaceship and decide to travel to the event horizon of a supermassive black hole, but just before crossing you reverse your thrusters and escape. According to my ...

Would an observer at infinity see a black hole decay before anything reaches the event horizon? [duplicate]
I’ve just watched a lecture on black holes by Leonard Susskind. He states that it takes an infinite amount of time to an outside observer for an object to reach the event horizon. However, a black ...

Disintegrating as you enter a large black hole, instead of experiencing what's inside?
I'm having trouble reconciling these three things I've heard about black holes:
If you fall into a sufficiently large black hole, you won't experience anything in particular when crossing the event ...

Would you reach a singularity before evaporation of the black hole? [duplicate]
When going to a physics camp the other day, we discussed the Schwarzchild-metric for a rotational symmetric non-spinning black hole and its famous time-dilation properties.
However, we know that ...

If it takes infinitely long for someone to fall in a black hole, wouldn't it evaporate first? [duplicate]
Let's say I decide to jump into a large black hole. A distant observer never sees me enter the black hole, but he does see the black hole evaporate. According to this reasoning, I would then keep ...

Falling into the black hole: a picture from the infinite distance [duplicate]
This question was bugging me for many years. Here it was argued that it would take an infinite time for somebody (suppose, an astronaut) to fall into the black hole, given that it is not his time, but ...

Does a black hole have enough time to actually form a singularity?
I am trying to wrap my head around black holes, singularties and hawking radiation. Physics.se contains many intresting questions and answers, but from none I could so far read about the interaction ...
