Looking into a black hole would be an odd experience due to the distortion of time and space.

An outside observer would see something falling slower and slower till it just stopped but the object would be falling faster and faster.

That's because their eyeballs would be stretching faster and faster until they matched the speed of the object under observation. When they finally snap out of the sockets, the object appears to have stopped because of the gravitational neural flux that allows the brain to continue seeing with the disconnected eyes.

I love science....

Um, would that be an ‘inside’ observer? From the outside masses would be orbiting faster and faster until they just winked out of visual perception having zipped apart inside the event horizon. But from the inside temporal flow would appear to slow ... the heart of a black hole maybe the coldest place in the Universe?
