Though this can both be explained due to the warp of time and the effect of how the visible light will at the Schwarzchild radius have an escape velocity similar to the speed of light, which will slow down the reflected light to the speed of zero, creating a fleeting image.

... ok im done now:P

ontopic: i really dont think this is a record. and on what critereria are we supposed to judge whether they "wound up" or not?

Now if you would place a clock at the top of a skyskraper and one at its ground level, you would find that after a while, a gap will form where the clock by the ground would be ahead of the one on top of the skyskraper. Through different tests and calculations, scientists have found that the escape velocity is the thing that effects the perspective of time.

Very roughly we would find through regression, we would find that the time, at the edge of the event horizon (escape velocity=c (the speed of light)), would appear to us as standing completly still.
