Why does time stop near a black hole?

To a distant observer, clocks near a black hole would appear to tick more slowly than those farther away from the black hole. Due to this effect, known as gravitational time dilation, an object falling into a black hole appears to slow as it approaches the event horizon, taking an infinite time to reach it.

What happens to a clock in a black hole?

The falling clock runs progressively slower. It never crosses the event horizon, but stays frozen there in space and time. The falling clock also becomes continuously redder, since its light loses energy as it escapes from the black hole’s vicinity.

Is it possible to freeze inside a black hole?

Yes, you’d freeze inside a black hole – what’s left of you. Only smaller black holes are hot(of the mass of vesta asteroid), others are freezing. The whole free space itself is freezing. Well in case of black holes, you need not to be afraid of lower or hotter temperature,it has other more fascinating ways to kill you.

Why does time slow down around a black hole?

Time indeed slows down around a black hole according to Stephen Hawking. Now this phenomenon happens because of the super gravitational force of the black hole. By virtue of this enormous force the black hole warps the space-time present all around it to such an extent that time around it slows down considerably.

Is it possible to live forever in a black hole?

You don’t need a black hole; just travel near the speed of light. Go fast enough, and when you return, the time in your reference frame will be way behind compared to the time on the Earth. You could experience only a minute when the Earth ages millions of years. But you would still not experience any value in this “living forever”.

Can a black hole have a non zero gravitational acceleration?

And the only time division of non-zero constant yields zero is when you divide by infinity. And although black holes are super heavy, super badass and super black, they posses finite energy and therefore finite gravitational acceleration (even at event horizon).
