Not THAT kind of black hole. Sheesh! So I have been reading off and on
about black holes for years. One of the theories about objects falling
into black holes says that an observer outside a black hole watching
an object fall into a black hole will see the object make it to the
event horizon and just hover there. I have not yet found an
explanation for this that I understand. Can anyone point me to a book
that explains this?

And drinking
more beer doesn't seem to help either.
