            nothing unusual at the horizon.

        Do you mean that clock rates continue to slow as an observer
        approaches the event horizon; then the clock stops when
        crossing, or on the event horizon; and after crossing the
        clock resumes its forward rate? AG

        He means the infalling clock doesn't slow down at all.  
        Whenever you see the word "clock" in a discussion of
        relativity it refers to an /*ideal clock*/.  It runs
        perfectly and never speeds up or slows down.  It's called
        /*relativity*/ theory because observers /*moving relative*/
        to the clock /*measure it*/ to run slower or faster than
        their (ideal) clock.

    I see. So if for the infalling observer, his clock seems to be
    running "normally", but for some stationary observer, say above
    the event horizon, the infalling clock appears to running
    progressively slower as it falls below the EH, even if it can't
    be observed or measured. According to GR, is there any depth
    below the event horizon where the infalling clock theoretically
    stops?

    I just explained that */clocks never slow/* in relativity
    examples.  So now you ask if there's a place they stop??

    Brent


I know, but that's not what I asked. Again, the infalling clock is measured as running slower than a stationary clock above the EH. As the infalling clock goes deeper into the BH, won't its theoretical rate continue to decrease as compared to the reference clock above the EH? How slow can it get? AG

It /*appears*/ (if the observer at infinity could see the extreme red shift) to /*asymptotically approach stopped */as it approaches the event horizon.  This is because the photons take longer and longer to climb out because they have to traverse more and more spacetime.
