He just didn’t understand the gravity of the situation.
That sucks
Because from his current position in space, it will be thousands of years before it crushes him.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think that’s relative time. If he’s caught on its gravitational well, I think he’d just fall in real time from his perspective.
True, but from his current perspective, time would pass more slowly as he got closer to the event horizon. From his changing perspective, it would just happen in real time, but the perspective he leaves behind would slow down.
Black holes don’t approach you; you approach black holes.
Isn’t the other frame of reference equally valid according to relativity?
If the black hole and the astronaut were the only two reference frames in existence, yes, but they are not.
Let me know when you manage to accelerate a black hole
aren’t black holes just dense objects? They aren’t just stuck in one spot in space…
Unless you’re Chuck Norris
You mean the right wing loon, Chuck Norris?
Sorry, I was referencing and old meme…
Don’t you mean mavity?
Because he had waited his entire current existence for this moment, knowing this is when he would travel through the black hole and be spit out into an alternate timeline where he would go back and find his younger self in this primary timeline to let him know he must qualify to be an astronaut so he could go to space and find this black hole so he could make sure he went back to find himself in the primary timeline so there would be no paradoxes and he could maintain the infinite loop of existence
The closer you get to the black hole, the more of a stretch the entire situation becomes
