I am thinking along the line of the second concept that you list at the end. The photon would cease to exist at any energy if allowed to continue by itself from the spaceship that is infinitesimally close to the boundary. So, instead, the second ship intercepts it ...
This is a concept that has the photon rising from the event horizon, but being slowed until "ceases to exist." But that would violate conservation of energy, for starters. Rather, the way the event horizon is described is that no path for light from inside the horizon crosses it.
This *appears* to conflict with views of the event horizon as being located differently with different observers.
I really think we need to back up, practically all the way. Why do we think there would be black holes?
