A Simulation of a Black Hole’s Event Horizon
New insights from general relativity reveal that our understanding of reality varies significantly based on perspective. When examining a black hole, the experience of an individual falling into it starkly contrasts with that of an outside observer watching the process unfold at the event horizon—the point of no return for the black hole.
For someone plunging into the black hole, the experience is uneventful, aside from an increasing intensity of gravity. In stark contrast, observers remaining outside find that no matter how long they observe, the individual appears to be suspended at the brink, never truly crossing the threshold.
