What Happens to Time at the Edge of a Black Hole?
Near black holes, gravity warps spacetime, causing time to slow dramatically for distant observers. An object falling in appears to freeze at the event horizon, its light redshifted. However, a falling observer experiences time normally, crossing the horizon in their own finite time. This phenomenon, gravitational time dilation, is supported by astronomical observations.
