i haven't yet got this concept. i have read about the time "freezing" near a BH , but am not clear. can u please explain what actually happens? why does the time stop? i also want to know one thing-- when, supposing 'A' enters the event horizon he moves slowly towards the singularity because of the time. but isen't gravity stronger? so shoulden't he move faster? oh one more thing, is there any other way of detecting a black hole other than the movement of stars?

The "freezing" of time is in the frame of a distant observer. Anyone falling into a black hole will not see such an effect, but will speed up due to gravity.
 
Agreed. The 'freezing' effect is what a remote observer sees. Your clock ticks away unfazed as the black hole gives your atoms a crash course in condensed matter phyics...

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread '1-Way Speed of Light'

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...

Thread 'How can a black hole absorb matter?'

According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
