How did you find PF?: duckduckGo search.
My math is very weak and I don't like explanations done using math. I read books with very little math. I try to use reason based on what I've read. My understanding is time slows down in gravity and it will actually stop at the event horizon (see "Einstein's Universe" by Nigel Calder where in the chapter "Shells of Time" on page 40 he says, "time itself stands still on the edge of a black hole."). This brings up other possibilities such as time is negative or imaginary inside a black hole, a free falling object goes the speed of light at the event horizon, the potential energy of a mass is zero at the event horizon, and there could be other possible strangenesses. I created a Facebook group called "Black Holes, Neutron Stars, and White Dwarf Stars" where we can get spaghettified.
