Ok good, I have learnt that the question is not quite right - that is a start. Thank you Peter, Steven & Markus. I also find the banter quite amusing If anything, based on my questions I should be ridiculed. Ha Ha....

While I don't have a physics background, I enjoy reading popular physics books and watching Leonard Susskind lectures on YouTube.

Apart from other possible issues, I understand that the size of the black hole and position of the observer would need to be specified and there will be impacts caused by length contraction and time dilation.

Let me try again with maybe a simpler question where I don't put my foot in it (although I almost certainly will).

How long would it take the midpoint of particle approaching a stellar mass black hole (3km event horizon) to travel from 25km to 5km away from the singularity when observed from a distance of (1) 100km away and (2) 10 000 km away.

Updated picture again.

Thanks,
Mark
