    As I understand it, the enormous gravitational force causes time and space to become inverted. Instead of velocity being defined as time to displace position, time occurs over displacement. A person on the event horizon would be apparently frozen in place until they eventually faded to nothing. Not sure how that analogy works since light doesn’t escape a black hole but it’s how Brian Cox explained it.

      Does that still mean that the concept of “time” is not defined in a useful (human-understandable) manner in a black hole?
