Just as a note I am new to these forums and this is my first post after reading for a little while, I have no technical expertise and am a complete layman. So any advice on posting is welcome.
From reading threads on these forums discussing properties of black holes and event horizons as I understand it when an object passes the threshold of the event horizon of a black hole it can no longer escape the gravity of the BH and neither can any photons. Subjectively for the object it would fall into the hole in an ordinary timeframe reference depending on the gravity of the BH. To an outside observer the object would appear frozen on the edge of the BH. I read that theoretically the image would be visible to an outside observer infinitely but surely at some point the last photon emmited by the object as it fell over the event horizon would reach the objective observer? Would the photons emmited become increasingly redshifted?
