: : : Why does time come to a stop at the event horizon of : : : a black hole? : : It does not. Time becomes the radial coordinate inside the black hole event horizon. : Then why would photons become more and more redshifted near the event horizon? It's only the photons that we observe that are red shifted and that's because space near the horizon is traveling so fast away from us. It's the same mechanism as the expansion of the universe which makes light from more distant sources more red shifted. The sources are actually traveling away from us because space at those distances is traveling away from us. If we could see far enough space would be seen to be traveling away from us at near the speed of light, just as it is near the event horizon of a black hole. |
