Great Analogy of Holding a Rope Above a BH?

[Drakkith]

So I understand that if one could hold a rope above a black hole and suddenly let it go the bottom would stay suspended until the removal of the force holding it propagates from the top to the bottom. Is this video a good analogy?

P.S. How the heck do you embed these...

At the end of the URL for a youtube video there is a number with a V and an equals infront of it. For this one it is: v=8UimHnsWSBc

Simply take the number and click the youtube button to wrap it in {YOUTUBE}{/YOUTUBE} (with "[" instead of "{" of course).

If you quote this you should be able to see what I've done if that's still not clear
