Question

You are in a spaceship and, for the sake of science, have volunteered to fall into a massive black hole. (A massive one was chosen so that the gravitational tidal forces don't kill you before you reach the Schwarzschild radius.) You have agreed to watch the rest of the world looking directly away from the black hole and constantly relaying to your colleagues, via electromagnetic communication, what you see happening to the "outside" world.

What your colleagues see, from a safe distance afar, is an ever increasing redshift of dialog coming from you. They see everything in the ship, including your bodily processes slowing down as you fall deeper into the gravitational field. As you approach the Schwarzschild radius (the event horizon), the redshift approaches infinity and your clock appears, to them, to slow to zero. As outline on page 499 (512 in the 2nd Edition) of your text, Modern Physics (Krane), your colleagues will see you asymptotically approaching the Schwarzschild radius, but never quite reaching it.

But you will reach the Schwarzschild radius in a finite time in your frame(perhaps too fast for your liking). Here's the puzzle - describe what you "see" happening to your colleagues and the rest of the Universe as you reach the Schwarzschild radius? Will what you see just as you pass through the event horizon be anything special? As always, provide arguments for your conjectures.

Explanation / Answer

we normally see thing happening, our colleagues will see just black , because no light will come to him back.
