How to survive in a black hole
May 23, 2007 by John in Interesting/Trivia
Theres no escape, but how can you maximize your remaining time? (via Kottke.org):
Falling into a black hole is a strange affair. Because the holes gravity distorts space-time, a far-off observer watching an object crossing the event horizon sees time for that object appear to slow down — a clock falling into a black hole would appear, from the outside, to tick ever slower. At the horizon itself, time stops, and the object stays frozen there for the remaining lifetime of the Universe.
This is fascinating, but it’s just so much mental masturbation.
