Reply to comment by thedoctorstatic in What if an object crosses an event horizon of a black hole... by Cthaeh420

If the string is a defined length, wouldn't the string reach max length from the perspective of the object and start pulling on the anchor point? When this happens, even though the object appears frozen, we would be able to tell its crossed the event horizon? At this point there is no amount of counter force in the universe to bring it back out?

correct there is no counterforce to bring anything back out of a black hole. More accurately spacetime curves to the degree that “back out” just doesn’t really exist past the event horizon. Think of spacetime curving in in itself (sorta) it’s not even about massive force or not, space is bending in such a way that escape is simply not a path through space.

I get an overwhelming sense of insignificance while imagining the size of space, as well as trying to find an answer to why we exist at all.

Well if you want to go down the rabbit hole. Everything that makes up you was once part of a star.

Tbh that's not nearly enough rabbit hole for me, I need "dmt is in every living thing and understanding it is understanding the simulation" level rabbit hole.
