SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of falling into a black hole (bh) and its relationship with the speed of light (c). It asserts that falling into a black hole allows for the perception of traveling infinite distances in finite time, as time dilation occurs due to the intense gravitational field. The conversation seeks clarification on this phenomenon and requests references or quotes from relevant literature to support the claims made.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity and its implications on time and space.
  • Familiarity with the concept of black holes and their gravitational effects.
  • Knowledge of time dilation as described in physics.
  • Basic comprehension of the speed of light as a universal constant.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of gravity on time as described in Einstein's theory of general relativity.
  • Study the concept of time dilation in the context of black holes.
  • Explore scientific literature on the behavior of objects approaching the event horizon of black holes.
  • Examine the implications of traveling at the speed of light and its relationship with black hole physics.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, astrophysicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the nature of black holes and the effects of gravity on time and space.

I have read in a book that fall in a bh is the sameto go at c.
Is it true?

In what sense? Perhaps you can give us a reference, or a quote from the book.
 


To fall in a bh means to travel infinite space in finite time, so if a clock is falling, its time blocks, the same as the clock travels at c.
