According to the Big rip theory if Black holes tear apart after a very long time, then according to the theory of relativity an object that reaches the event horizon should see time passing infinitelty and by the time the object was swallowed wouldn't the black hole not exist anymore because of the big rip?

Do you have a reference for why you think there is a "big rip" theory that says this?

This is a common error, unfortunately perpetuated by pop science sources. It comes from trying to apply the standard formula for gravitational time dilation to an object on the event horizon, where the assumptions underlying the formula are invalid. An object falling through the event horizon will not see the whole history of the universe. It sees very little after it falls through the horizon, which it does in finite time by its own clocks.

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread '1-Way Speed of Light'

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...

Thread 'How can a black hole absorb matter?'

According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
