Maybe, if we were in a black hole we wouldn't know, and it would take an infinite amount of time to reach the event horizon.
very frightening and uneasy stuff to think about

Eh, forgive me but also, an outside observer would say it takes an infinite amount of time for you to hit the event horizon, (and get smeared and red-shifted to nothing on it), but the in-falling frame of reference passes through the horizon as quick as any other point.
Now is the entire universe a black hole in some sense? Perhaps, but in pondering such a case I find it is no more terrifying, majestic, mysterious, and awe inspiring when contemplated that way than any other.
It also made me wonder, if the center of a black hole is blindingly white, what if that’s where our souls are pulled to when we die?
