Can a body approach at the speed of light as it approaches a black hole?
Thanks for explaining that. Is there any limit to how fast an object can approach a black hole?
In theory, there is no limit to how fast an object can approach a black hole, but as we discussed earlier, it can never quite reach the speed of light. However, the closer it gets to the event horizon, the stronger the gravitational forces become, which can cause the object to be ripped apart by tidal forces before it ever reaches the black hole itself.
