(The person falling into the black hole sees their own processes unaffected.) But the speed of light is the same everywhere for all observers.

- According to the tiny world experiment, there are only 5.2 intermediates between any two people on Earth (thus 6-degree of separation). This is a remark that has been made for well over half a century. The Internet may be useful in this regard. Let's pretend that everyone on Earth doubles their friend count on Facebook, Twitter, and every other social network they participate in (2x). Calculate the relative distance between us now.

Our understanding of the size of the universe has changed since then, and we now know that the observable universe alone is a sphere with a radius of 1026 m.
