I am not clear on how [tex]|g_{rr}| \neq 1[/tex] in the Schwarzschild solution manifests itself. If I approach the event horizon of a black hole while holding a meter stick "vertically", that is, with [tex]d\theta =0[/tex] and [tex]d\phi =0[/tex] between its endpoints, will it appear to someone far away [tex](r \gg r_{s})[/tex] that its length increases or decreases? Will the center of the black hole actually appear to recede from me as I approach it?
