This is completely false. They would see the universe outside proceeding at a fairly normal rate, with moderate redshift. They would not see the end of the universe. In fact, if they were viewing a distant clock there is a specific time it would show as they approached the singularity. This time on the distant clock is the time when the event of infaller reaching the singularity is no longer in the (causal) future of the distant clock, and thus the distant observer can legitimately consider that the infaller reaching the singularity is “now” true.stevil said:I accept this.
Even from the infalling observer the event horizon would have no light come at them from the inside. But the EH isn't a physical barrier, the person falling in doesn't realize that time slows down, their own clock appears to them to tick normally.
If they were looking outward though, they would see the universe speed up and hot into heat death before they are able to cross the event horizon. (if they could see clearly outwards, i understand people have said there are red shift issues with being able to see outward).
