2. Time Would Seem to Stop But Only for Others
If someone were watching you fall into the black hole from a safe distance, they would see something strange. As you got closer to the event horizon, time would appear to slow down for you. You would seem to move more slowly, fade, and turn red until you eventually appeared frozen in place. This is because space and time begin to warp near the black hole’s edge.
From the outside, it would look like you never fully crossed into the black hole. But for you, time would move on normally, until everything changes.
