According to this video, , if a black hole is large enough you could actually travel for some time within the event horizon without dying because the event horizon is so far from the actual singularity. So, assuming that's true, what would you see while you were inside the black hole?
Here's what i think: if you launch a rocket on Earth that can't reach escape velocity, at certain point it'll just come straight back down. Would it be the same for light? Light cannot reach escape velocity so would it just come straight back down at a certain point? If that's the case, wouldn't that make a sort of mirror like surface? The light goes up and comes back down as if reflecting off a mirror?
And then on top of that, just because light can't escape it doesn't mean light can't enter. So would it be a reflective surface as well as a one way see through window to the rest of the universe?
And one last thing, is it at all possible that light that enters the black hole could somehow enter an orbit around the singularity?
I know I probably got a lot of this wrong, so I thank you for your patience and any help would be greatly appreciated!
