yes, but prior to hitting the horizon it is taking an incredible amount of time for light to return. once it hits the horizon it should disappear. thing is, I've heard arguments both ways that light will NOT slow down, it just goes normal until the event. have heard the other way, too. matter of fact, there was a lab where light was slowed down and stopped (read it a few weeks back on fark.com I think) Was a legit site like space.com or something it linked to. However, I have also seen lab tests where light was increased in speed in a lab (it apeared outside of a ionized noble gas chamber treated with some other crap) before it even entered the test environment, it appeared on the other side. It hasn't been published because they can't explain how it happened. I will try to google for these two later and post links.
