It is important to take observations seriously. Many discussions of light frequency shift phenomena focus on the transformations, with more than a little implication that any observer’s stationary frame is more real than the others. So let’s take frequency shift seriously, starting with black holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Objects near a black hole are very large. As things get near the black hole, their light emissions are redshifted. This redshift is a real, observable indicator of the enlarged size of the object and any measurement device near it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An interesting way of talking about its increased size is that it is less localized. The object takes up a larger volume as it falls towards the black hole. Take that to the limit! Objects sufficiently near the black hole are as large as the universe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
