How about gravitational pull in a black hole

Hypothesis

Objects that come near a black hole will disappear from the observable universe.

How will you test this hypothesis?

Actually, they red-shift out of observable range and become stationary...from a flat space or near flat space observation point.

If you read my post in your previous thread, you will see that this observable effect, comes as a result of the properties of SR within a GR framework.

Although this feature becomes PROUNOUNCED to the extreme near a Black Holes' event horizon, our Earth has the same properties, all matter does, even an ant carries these properties.

How long (time) would it take for a black hole to consume a star..a range maybe... small black hole consuming a large start thru to a large black hole consuming a small star... is the process to lengthy to be observed in a human lifetime?
Has any star been observed being consumed?
To establish your hypothisis you would have to observe a range of objects you have "dropped" into the range of the black holes event horizon... say objects of known mass and a sample range of say 1000 ..record the results of each drop, and record the observations... but dont get to close OK.
