Sorry. It should have read: g(h) ≈ 1/h2 :eek: The consequence of supposing I can do anything useful at 11pm after a very long day. :redface: This is the "intensity" of the gravitational "radiation" over distance h.

Yes.

What?!?

I want to consider the rate at which time slows as gravity increases near a massive object such as a sun or even a black hole. Obviously there is a distance component here but I am after a generalisation that simply shows the relationship between time and gravity (ought to be possible)...

I think of the EH as an optical effect - like a rainbow. Its just the point at which everything beyond it becomes invisible. As objects approach the EH they are already being thrust into the future and will fade away as they go through it. As they get closer to the singularity over time, they...

...but never reach it (from the point of view of observers outside the BH). Once an object reaches the EH it continues to accelerate into the (our) future, but observed from outside, time starts slowing down until it pretty well stops altogether for objects at the singularity. Eventually...
