No. An object within the event horizon is still reflecting light just as it was before falling in. The only difference is in relation to where that reflected light can or cannot go from there.

That is what I said, yes.

The point being that the event horizon deals with the structure of spacetime, while reflectivity is a material property. An object doesn’t get painted with vantablack when it passes the event horizon.

The event horizon only obscures objects that are inside it, it has nothing to do with reflectivity of the object itself.

An observer situated between the singularity and an object within the event horizon could still intercept the light reflected from said object.

No event horizon is made up of matter. Do you mean the matter around and behind the black hole, by which the location and size of the black hole can be inferred?

Ahchchcually USA has by far the most metal bands, but yeah Finland leads the per capita list by far.

The event horizon isn’t a physical object. Does a singularity reflect light? (I’m guessing it’s still a no)
