    If I was lucky enough to be so accurate to fall past an event horizon, I’d love it. But I’d also worry my perception of time would change such that my death would feel infinite. I would be equally excited and terrified

      Time is relarive to your frame of reference. You are always the source of your own frame of reference, so you can never feel the effect of time dilation on yourself. At worst, it would look like the universe outside the horizon started to accelerate to unimaginable speeds. But you would never feel trapped in an unending, at worst that is simply what it would look like to us.

      If time is relative wouldn’t your death be infinite already?

      I might have eaten too many mushrooms in my “time” but isn’t everything happening everywhere all at once? I mean I always figured we experienced time simply because of gravitational forces upon us. But I also took a lot of psychedelics and have no actual education in the matter lol. Please, anyone, feel free to enlighten me. I’m very open minded.

        Wish I had answers, but converse to your handle, people expressing this kind of vulnerable, raw curiosity so that we all might learn something, is exactly why I love the Internet. :D
