The situation is different in a supermassive black hole, containing the mass of several million to several billion stars.

Due to relativistic time-dilation effects induced by the gravity of the black hole, your perception of light striking the poster and being reflected back into your eyes would be almost indistinguishable from “normal”.

Thanks for the reply.
When you said that the Universe as a whole may be within the SR of… itself?.. it got me to thinking of the supermassive black holes, not the runts. I sorta guessed that the SR of a 20 solar mass BH wasn’t all that far from the “surface” of the BH itself, and I would have noted the effects of the nearby mass long before I tripped over the SR.
In a supermassive BH, just inside the SR, wouldn’t any light I see already begin to be affected by the gravity? I don’t know if it would give stuff a red tint or not… or seem dimmer somehow.
Speaking of gravity, BH can affect photons and nearly any other particle we know about, right? Does this prove that gravity is not “transmitted” via Gravitons? Why is every other universal force/energy affected by BH, but not gravity?
