The End of the Universe in an Instant

[JDude13]

A distant observer watches you take an infinite amount of time to reach the event horizon. From your perspective you reach the event horizon after a finite amount of time.
Would it be fair to say that, upon reaching the event horizon you will have seen the rest of the universe's existence in its entireity?

No, if you _fall _ into a black hole, you won't see the end of the universe. I've posted some references on this in the past, I'm sure you can find them if you look.

You could see the end of the universe - well, an arbitrary but finite amount of time into the future - if you use rockets to hover just above the event horizon of a black hole. But with the same rocketship, you could see the end of the universe by just flying around and taking advantage of time dilation.

For supermassive black holes, you can pass through the event horizon without being subjected to tidal forces big enough to kill you.
