- TL;DR Summary
- What a happens to physical distance in the radial direction as one approaches the surface of a Schwarzschild black hole?
As a photon falls radially toward the surface of a Schwarzschild black hole, dr/dt approaches zero. Does this mean that, from the viewpoint of a distant (Schwarzschild) observer, the photon slows down or that the distance covered by successive dr's is getting larger?
