Hi Steven,

I'm not questioning your formula that you used, but I find it hard to believe it takes nearly 2 Billion years for an observed object to travel 20Km falling into a black hole.
If you had said it was 20 Sec's vs 16 Sec's, I would have said that sounds reasonable.

I understand that it is from a close observers point of view where time slows down, but its still mind boggling.

Regards
Bill
