Time technically stops after the event horizon correct?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the behavior of black holes and the concept of time at the event horizon. It posits a hypothetical scenario involving a 20,000 light-year-long string anchored by two identical black holes exerting equal gravitational pull. The participants explore the implications of such a scenario, questioning whether the black holes would pull each other inwards or remain stationary due to their equal gravitational forces. The conversation concludes that the nature of black holes may not be as exotic as initially perceived.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics and event horizons
  • Familiarity with gravitational forces and their effects
  • Basic knowledge of theoretical physics concepts
  • Awareness of spacetime and its implications in general relativity
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of gravitational forces on objects near black holes
  • Study the principles of general relativity and spacetime
  • Explore the concept of event horizons in black hole theory
  • Investigate the behavior of matter and energy in extreme gravitational fields
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy enthusiasts, theoretical physicists, and anyone interested in the complexities of black hole dynamics and gravitational interactions.

Black holes, Time technically stops after the event horizon correct? So, Let's say, We had a string.. That cannot be ripped, broken, streched, or anything that would harm or alter it's position. Let's say, It was 20,000 Light years long and on each end of it was a black hole pulling. Now, We'd assume that it would act some what like a pully and reel inwards but, the other side would do the same.

So, If the rope "Pulling" started at both ends at exactly the same time it would be down to who has the bigger gravity well. So.. Let's say by a extreme chance they are both perfectly identical. What would happen!? Would they both reel each other into one another?



.:STUPID QUESTION BUT IM BORED:.

Have you ever played a well-matched game of tug-of-war?
I don't think black holes are quite as exotic as you seem to think.
