I work overnights mostly alone and as such I have a lot of time to come up with some crazy ideas. Here is one.
So the constant c is described as the speed of light, I would contend that light travels instantly, and c represents the relationship between time and space, which is constant. When we observe a distant object, for example the sun it is said that the light takes 8.5 minutes to reach Earth. In my view, because of the distance, the Sun is observed to be temporally displaced by 8.5 minutes. All objects are observed in different 'times' based on their distance from the observer. We all see reality differently because we all stand at a different place in space-time.
We know that gravity distorts time, specifically that the flow of time is observed to be different by one close to a massive object compared to one far away. I believe this is because gravity is a manifestation of a non-orthogonal dimension. We cannot visually comprehend it but we can feel it. Massive objects are further away in the 'gravity' direction. The more massive they are, the more distant they are. So when looking at a black hole the temporal displacement is much greater than its apparent displacement in space would suggest, pushing it's observed time-frame to a point before it existed. Since you are looking at it as it appeared before it existed, there is nothing to see - it's just a black hole!
