Black hole theory involves space (or space-time), itself, being sucked into the black-hole, with the event horizon marking the point at which space/space-time is moving faster than the speed of light. I find it really hard to picture how this could be happening while objects maintained a reasonable stable orbit around black holes. If we take the stars that orbit the super massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, the orbital dynamics are used to calculate the mass of the black hole, in the normal way. In other words not taking account of the fact space is rushing at some speed inwards toward the black-hole. I appreciate I'm missing some knowledge here. That's the motivation for asking the question.
