When you are in a gravitational field, do object far away get physically closer to you as you get closer to the mass?
An observer A is close to a black hole and an observer B one light year away. They are both remaining at constant radial distance from the black hole. A is at 2 Rs away from the center of the black ...

What (if any) significance exists in the analogy between the speed of light limit and the Schwartzchild radius of a black hole
I have always been intrigued by what seems to be very similar characteristic of the phenomena of traveling very, very fast, (close to the speed of light , and the Schwartzchild radius.
AS a body gets ...

What slows down time relative to an observer: super gravity or super speed? [duplicate]
Sounds like after the Interstellar movie, ppl are talking much more about time slowing down near a black hole, instead of traveling close to the speed of light.
My personal hobbyist experience was ...

Does a black hole really slow down time?
When an object gets pulled into a black hole it seems to slow and stop, but could it be possibly be because the speed of light that hit the object and came back was slowing down as the object got ...

Is it possible to travel faster than the speed of light under extreme warping of spacetime?
The event horizon of a black-hole is defined as the point at which light itself cannot escape, supposedly due to a black-hole's immense gravity and effect on spacetime. However, would this not require ...

light in black holes and space time
I watched videos, read articles, learned a lot about black holes and got confused:
Lets say that a light is doing its way inside a black hole toward the singularity.
If it's inside the event horizon,...

Why are black holes special?
A black hole is where it's mass is great enough that light can't escape at a radius above the surface of the mass?
I've been told that strange things happen inside the event horizon such as space-...
