Have you ever wanted to disappear in a black hole? I do think about it. After looking at this cool black hole animation I discovered that if you were watching me fall into the black hole, you would see me get closer and closer to the horizon. But no matter how long you wait, you would never see me reach the horizon because the light that I am emitting takes longer and longer to climb back out to reach you. And so even though a long time has passed since I went through the horizon, the light telling you that I have fallen in won’t reach you for a very long, infinitely long time. Sounds like a trip to end all trips!
