Reply to comment by kimthealan101 in What is our current "best guess" about how to observers that entered a black hole on opposite sides would look to each other once they crossed the event horizon? by WittyUnwittingly

Relative to people outside. Inside the event horizon, all world lines converge on the singularity, so you'll end up there eventually. How long that would subjectively take for the person inside is a fun question that I don't know the answer to.

Edit: also assuming people outside could see you, which they can't because any light bouncing off of you will also follow a world line into the singularity and never make it to them.

Seems to me you couldn't think either since any conscious thought would require a round trip in your brain, and the party of the trip going away from the singularity wouldn't make it.

In my understanding not YOU would stop but theTIME around you. So if you”fell” in a black hole you wouldnt notice the slowness of the time because that would be your normal (implying you are not dead by that time). Your brain functions would be just fine from your perspective

Mostly correct. You’d see the universe progressively move fast and faster towards infinite motion until the “light-death” of the universe. Again, that is provided you were able to perceive and maintain thought during the process. But yes, you would not feel like you were moving in slowmo or anything, but everything outside of the BH would begin happening faster and faster and faster as you blinked out of existence

That would be scary. When we develop space travel we should throw people in them.

I’ve always said I’d volunteer. That’s one hell of a way ticket. But your name will be forever.

Time continues at its normal pace for all observers. What would happen is that you would not see the other person on the other side of the horizon ever again. They would both fall into the center after being spaghettified.
