Reply to comment by WittyUnwittingly in What is our current "best guess" about how to observers that entered a black hole on opposite sides would look to each other once they crossed the event horizon? by WittyUnwittingly

One you cross the event horizon, you are traveling faster than the speed of light. The spacetime you occupy is traveling faster than the speed of light.. any information generated would not get from you to the observer next to you because it would all be heading towards the singularity, faster than the speed of light, faster than the speed of causality.

That's not true, you never locally exceed the speed of light pre-singularity in a black hole. You also don't notice anything special when crossing the event horizon, there is always an apparent event horizon ahead of you even when you have crossed the "true" event horizon already.

I thought it was more that space time itself has been bent so far that all directions head towards the singularity. So you can't see anything from beyond the event horizon because space time does not extend from it.
