Here's where my smooth brain gets hung up: the escape velocity of a black hole is FTL, ergo something falling into, as it gets shredded by gravity, it moves FTL. If time stops when moving at the speed of light, what about FTL?
It reminds of the particle that was (supposedly) caught in Antarctica that appeared to be moving backwards from how they expected.
