Thank you, but, ow, your hurting my head. OK, so the description of the event horizon I gave is wrong. It is not the surface for which the escape velocity is c, but the maximum closed surface for which all the future light cones, for all points on the surface, never cross the surface. I guess...

I was listening to some GR lectures,and the description of the event horizon of a black hole was the surface at which the escape velocity becomes larger than c. (I'm paraphrasing) This seems like the event horizon would appear to get smaller the closer you got to it, since the velocity required...
