I have a question if anyone here is enough of an astrophysics professional to answer it. As gravity increases, time slows and at the event horizon, time essentially stops. If that’s the case, then as a star collapses, time slows and slows as the gravity increases but if the collapse slows, how can it every finish and reach the point where time stops? Wouldn’t each black hole essentially be forever trying to finish forming but not finish forming until the “end of time”?
If you were there, though, would it seem like not forever but as a very short amount of time, all things being relative.
Zeno’s paradox? Similar to the problem of movement toward a threshold. You can always divide the distance needed in half. So if you go halfway, you can then go halfway again, then halfway again, ad infinitum. Thus you never reach the threshold.
Having zero instruments that have ever reported what happens inside a black hole, we have zero idea about the physics that goes on there.
Your post about time stopping is conjecture.
Further, we have no idea if time itself is quantized (comes in small indivisible units like a tickin clock) or if space is quantized (comes in small indivisible units).
The reasoning in your post fails to take the quantum nature of things into account.
