If interested, read Kip Thorne's Black Holes and Time Warps Norton.

Everything, things 1 and 2 long, shrink so that addition of numbers is invariant under black-hole gravitational transformation, along with all other relationships. 1's and 2's -- the numbers -- are invariant to any physical transformation. If you were there, you wouldn't notice the shrinkage. (You'd be torn apart after dying of boredom, but let that pass.) Some astro-physicists believe that we are "at the edge" of a very massive black-hole in the center of the Galaxy. It's gravitational attraction is so minuscule that we didn't even notice it or know what a black-hole was until the last few years. And we are still not sure.
