Can I ask a silly question of people who know more than I do? I am, sort of, comfortable with the idea of collapsing to infinite density to form a singularity. But if time slows to zero at the event horizon then how quickly does matter collapse inside the event horizon - from the perspective of an observer outside the event horizon. From outside the event horizon does it ever collapse at all? Or does it collapse infinitely slowly? The obvious answer is we can't see inside the event horizon, but does Hawking radiation not suggest that we can get information from within the event horizon? Baffled and confused!
