I always wondered when they say as you approach a body having sufficiently high mass time slows down considerably
but is it possible that if I look at an object and that object were to move close to say a black hole as it nears the event horizon the speed of the escaping light should decrease and hence it should take longer for it to reach us and hence we would assume that time has slowed down whereas time is moving at the same velocity but we are receiving the images much later. So basically what I'm asking is that how can it be possible that a black hole (or any high mass) body having a massive gravitational effect can considerably slow down time.
In that case when the body emerges fromthe massed structure it should have caught up withthe present time shouldn't it?
