I clarify my question: beyond the event horizon of a black hole, according to general relativity, the space-time flows faster than the speed of light. If it is the case, then, no information can be transmitted from here.

But then, if i drop an apple, say, in the black hole.

The black hole would then gain mass, and i could theorically mesure that gain with the event horizon radius variation and the attraction, meaning that the information of its mass and attraction change went from the center to get out of the event horizon.

In other words, that gravity information would have been faster than light?

How is that possible and where did i not understand something? (Just daydreamed about this stuff so maybe my question in itself is idiotic, sorry physicists)

    Because light is affected by gravity but gravity isn’t. Gravity—the curvature of space-time—can’t stop changes in the curvature of spacetime from propagating outward. But also that information isn’t coming from inside the event horizon, it’s coming from spacetime around it.

      This is false. If it were true, you could build a device to communicate from inside a black hole event horizon. By waving around a heavy ball you would create gravitational waves that a sensitive enough LIGO outside the black hole could detect. But this is impossible. You would create gravitational waves, yes, but they would fall towards the center singularity same as you, and will never penetrate and escape the event horizon.

    You only know the total mass, charge, and angular momentum of the black hole—you don’t know how those properties are distributed inside the event horizon. You see the apple approach the horizon and the horizon expands to encompass the apple-black hole system, but that information isn’t coming from the singularity at the center—it’s coming from the horizon.

      Exactly, that information isn’t coming from inside the black hole. In fact it is the lack of information that tells us such things. We know the ratio between the lack of information (the event horizon) and the mass of everything inside.

    According to our current understanding of physics and technology, you can’t.

    Maybe that will change in in the future, but for now, sorry.
