Once I cross the event horizon of a BH, is it valid to say that I'm at rest and the singularity comes up to meet me?

The singularity is a moment in time, not a location in space. It would be a little strange to say "Friday comes up to meet me".tionis said:Once I cross the event horizon of a BH, is it valid to say that I'm at rest and the singularity comes up to meet me?

A black hole is a region of space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. This happens when a massive star collapses under its own weight.
The rest frame of a black hole is a reference frame in which the black hole appears to be stationary. It is a theoretical concept that allows us to study the properties of a black hole without being affected by its extreme gravitational pull.
The singularity of a black hole is a point of infinite density and zero volume at the center of a black hole. It is where the laws of physics, as we know them, break down and we cannot predict what happens.
Time inside a black hole is affected by its extreme gravity. As you get closer to the singularity, time slows down significantly. At the event horizon, time stops completely. This means that for an outside observer, it would appear that anything falling into a black hole freezes in time at the event horizon.
According to our current understanding of physics, nothing can escape from a black hole once it has passed the event horizon. This includes matter, light, and even information. However, there are some theories that suggest that information may be able to escape in the form of Hawking radiation.
