Well, the gradient is the difference in the pull of gravity over the
length of your body. If you are close to the singularity the
difference in pull from your head to your toes is so high you will be
torn apart into a long, thin stream of your constituent parts. But far
enough away from the singularity the difference is so slight you won't
even notice the very slight stretching when you pass through the event
horizon.
Eric

But AT the event horizon, where the gravitational pull exceeds the speed
of light, I somehow suspect that you are WAY too close to be that far away.

As far as the floating or hovering theory goes, what point-of-view do we
attribute that to? Surely not someone outside the event horizon...

Can't help with a book, but the way I think of it -
think of a shock wave.

When a physical thing passes through a media faster than the media
can get out of the way, a shock wave is created (in that media).

Like supersonic flight, for instance.
Air molecules can't move out of the way quickly enough and pile up
into a high pressure wave. (air is a compressible media)

While I'm probably wrong, that's how I see the whole particle/wave
question in light and electromagnetic phenomenon.

The photon is the particle part; the wave is the shock wave created
by that photon passing through the media.

The next (unresolved) question is - what is the media?

Anyway, back to your question...

AT the event horizon, the acceleration level is 1.0 C (the speed of
light in a vacuum). Is that really a "weak" gradient?

I would think a person (or thing) would be pulled apart but a much
lower gradient that that...

Gravity isn't an 'emission', it's a bending of space around a mass. It

Maybe we all need to learn special relativity and work through it
ourselves.

I do know that the biggest challenge presented by black holes is that,
basically, the math breaks down. Relativity is a theory that's tacked
onto classical mechanics, so it works just peachy as long as quantum
effects don't come into play. Quantum mechanics is formulated assuming a
flat space-time, so it works just peachy as long as relativistic effects
don't come into play.

So it's not surprising that the explanations should be a bit shaky and
hard to wrap your head around -- theoretical physicists can't agree on
the details, so why should we be able to understand?

I don't know which layman's expose would be best; Hawking's don't really
talk thru it that much as I recollect altho it's been a while since last
read them.

It's a fignewton of the space-time curvature owing to the intense
graviational force and since in general relativity there is no
coordinate-independent way to say that two distant events are happening
"at the same time." The proper time of any observer is only defined
locally.

You can begin to see (so to speak :) ) the "why" of "forever to fall in"
by looking at the paths of emerging light rays. The event horizon is
called a "lightlike surface"; light rays can remain there. For an ideal
black hole the light can stay there without escaping. So, watching from
a safe distance, you see the object fall more and more slowly as the
light delay increases. You'll never see it actually get to the event
horizon. This is really an optical effect caused by the paths of the
light rays.

But, don't think the object will still be visible forever, either,
because as things get closer to the event horizon, they also get dimmer.
So things would disappear as they got close.

But, the above is without quantum effects; Hawking even in the Brief
History of Time follows the chapter on black holes with one entitled
"Black Holes Ain't So Black" or similar where he brings in some of the
other effects. I've not tried to keep at all current on what other
tidbits of strangeness is considered likely owing to those refinements
that have followed since the roughly '90s time frame.

Yeah I think there are lots of different ideas, but we just don't have much data

Greetings George,
I kinda get the two slit experiment where and electron, for example,
interfers with itself. This is because the electron takes all possible
paths from the electron emitter to the target. Like when you shine a
light at a mirror. We expect the light to bounce off the mirror at the
same angle as it strucki the mirror. And this is what we see. But if
you shine that light at a mirror that has non-reflective stripes on it
you will get light bouncing off it at different angles. The farther
away from the angle we expect it to be the dimmer it will be. I kinda
get that by thinking about the photons taking all possible paths. Some
paths are more probable which is why the light is strongest at the
incident angle. I heard the best explanation of this from watching
some of Richard Feynman's lectures.

Thanks for the book suggestion. I'll look it up. As for photons being
stopped by the whatever if they don't experience time I don't see how
that is a problem. As gravity gets stronger the path the photon takes
gets more and more curved. Eventually the path is curved to the point
that the path curves back into the black hole. Where, I assume, the
photon is absorbed and converted into some other form of energy or
matter. Maybe just energy. I'm not clear as to whether matter can
exsist inside a black hole. Maybe just degenerate matter.

There is no time at the event horizon, so no space-time. Inside a
singularity, there is no space or time. Between the two, a black hole
spins at thousands of RPM. There's where the time is.

Yeah, well that curving back bit is the key, the only way to get a photon
to curve back is for space/time to curve back on itself.
So it's closed from the inside,
and must be closed from the outside too.
(though it's harder to see how it looks from the outside.)
But I'm way beyond anything I can claim to understand.

I'm not sure you can talk about what's going on inside.
Once space/time is closed off, it's kinda gone...
though the gravity is still there.

I like him as well. Did you hear of the glob cluster of stars that was
drawn in between two black holes ? That came in just at the correct
angle - and went out the other side - not through one but across the
'face' of two facing each other. Normally they share in the cosmic food
but this big bite came in very fast and shot out going just faster than
the speed of light! Smoking and moving that one was!


Really?
Matter FASTER than light?

Got a link to that story?


Can you just think - a planet with life that can think and reason in
that cluster and just know life is at the end - but it wasn't.

That cluster is blasting through space looking for a galaxy to hide in
or blast and hide.

It was a NASA news blip I get from time to time a month ago or so.
Physics isn't simple stuff. Out of norm stuff is often discovered.
