Graduate Why does the distortion zone shrink relative to larger black holes?
I'm digging too - I feel like this is one of the most accurate simulations: http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/index.php?id=2460 This is another: http://inspirehep.net/record/824061 These don't answer my question yet because I can't see relative sizes, but I feel like I'm getting closer.- Chris G

Graduate Why does the distortion zone shrink relative to larger black holes?
Peter, That is why I'm asking this question - there seems to be a lot of spacetime graphs out there or other representations (like this video) that show the idea of a gravity well funneling downwards, but that don't have realistic spacetime curves. This is the classic example: So I'm...- Chris G

Graduate Why does the distortion zone shrink relative to larger black holes?
Hello! I'm having a hard time finding realistic black hole simulations, but I saw one recently (black hole size comparison on youtube) that showed the following 3 black holes (attached). I noticed that the larger the black hole, the smaller the "distortion zone" was relative to the radius of...- Chris G
