Near black hole event horizon time dilation?

AI Thread Summary
Objects near a black hole experience significant time dilation due to the intense gravitational field, causing them to perceive time for distant objects as moving faster. As an object approaches the event horizon, this effect becomes more pronounced, leading to extreme differences in the passage of time. The relationship between time dilation and the speed of light is crucial, as light from distant objects appears redshifted and delayed. This phenomenon raises intriguing questions about the nature of time and gravity in the context of general relativity. Understanding these effects enhances our grasp of black hole physics and its implications for the universe.

Lets say we have a couple objects, one very close to a black hole, one a little farther out and then one a good distance away. Would the one very close to the black hole see the other ones time moving much quicker than their own time? How about just as they are going to hit the event horizon? How does that work with the speed of light and it's frequency?

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
