Generation

An event horizon is the boundary around a black hole beyond which nothing—not even light—can escape the gravitational pull. Think of it as a point of no return: once you cross it, all possible paths through spacetime lead inward toward the singularity at the center. From the outside, the event horizon appears as a spherical surface (for non-rotating black holes) with a radius called the Schwarzschild radius, which depends on the black hole's mass. Interestingly, someone falling through an event horizon wouldn't notice anything special at the exact moment of crossing, though they'd be unable to turn back.
