hi, I am not a physicist so sorry if this is a stupid question, its just curiosity.
how thick is the light like event horizon of a schwarzschild black hole,
for instance, what the closest distance scale that an infalling photon and an escaping photon be, and whatI is "inbetween"? I've heard that when observed from outside you would never see the photon reach the EH,it just slows and becomes flattened against it,but from the photons point of view nothing out of the ordinary happens,it just crosses the horizon into what seems like normal flat space time,though the maths shows something dramatic has occurred when you pass r = 2MG. is this "thickness" Planck length or area or something else?
