No, I would disagree. The person on the surface of the collapsing star should see clocks at the center as time dilated and running slower than his own. Looking at clocks further out away from the star he would find them running faster than his own. The further a clock is from the center of the collapsing star, the faster it ticks.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
