Although it is said that time slows down and stops at the event horizon

would expect that time would run infinitely fast at the event horizon.
That's because time is a measure of entropy or change. Acceleration is
a measure of change in velocity, and velocity is a measure of change in
position. In other words, acceleration is a measure of change in the
change of position. Since a mass accelerates as it approaches the event
horizon, the time rate of change (in position), or entropy, of the mass
is increasing. Therefore, the rate of time flow for a mass entering a
black hole should be increasing. I believe that the velocity of the
mass increases purely because it's local rate of time flow is
increasing.


So according to your intuition, time dilation is proportional to
acceleration.
That is not what is observed. Your intuition is empirically wrong.

Rest snipped unread.
