Good Afternoon, to those of you that are existing in the afternoon. For all else, good morning, good evening and so on.
Before I begin, this is more of a question about the behavior of light in immense gravity than anything else. I'm well aware that under the best of circumstances, or the worst, I'm spaghetti'd and anyone outside observing me fall into a black hole will see me slow down and turn red. I mean, after all, it IS pretty embarassing to voluntarily point your self at a black hole and fall in.
Alright, to the meat and potatoes, as they say.
I've got my FTL boots on. I'm falling into a black hole. Nevermind an outside observer, I'm hoping there are none to record my silly actions from this point forward.
Right as I pass the EH falling toward the singularity, I flip my FTL boots on and I hover, just inside the EH and take a gander back at the universe.
Nevermind that in mere seconds I will realize that my logic is completely wrong, and my FTL boots will cease to exist and I shall be sucked into the singularity against all whims or wishes.
My question is, what do I see as the light falls into the Black Hole and hits me, hovering just inside the EH?
I've read Larry Niven's "Neutron Star" and in it, as I'm sure anyone who's read it knows, the light falling on the ship passing close to the star ends up giving the pilot/astronaut "star burns".
Because I'm able to hover in my ill-logic for a couple seconds, and I'm not falling at the speed of light, is the light blue shifted?
Thanks for your patient answers. :)
