Hello there,
I am new to the forums, and relatively new to physics. Please bear with me as I am still learning the intricacies of the subject. I have always been fascinated with science, but I missed several opportunities to study it academically. Most of my knowledge is self-learned through documentaries, books, and searching the internet. If I am mistaken about certain things, feel free to point it out, and I will consider it a valuable learning experience.
I am fascinated with the workings of black holes. It has been a mission of mine to learn as much as I can about them. I have many speculations, but I would like to dismiss the ones that are unlikely or impossible. It could be that I am overlooking a simple law of physics that I have not yet learned, so I would be grateful for any feedback. I also have a few questions.
We suspect that even light cannot escape the gravity of a black hole because we are unable to see them or detect any non-visible light emanating from them. Is it possible that all motion inside a black hole has ceased? Perhaps the density has reached a point where motion is no longer possible.
I have heard many theories that time slows down relative to ones proximity of a black hole. Is it possible that only one's perception of time that slows? If a person performing an action could stand next to a black hole (and survive!) and we are viewing them from a further distance, time would not be slow from their perspective. Like the light from stars, it just takes a little longer for the light to reach us in order for the viewer to see the performed action. Does this sound plausible?
