If time dilation increases the half-life of a high-speed muon generated by high energy cosmic rays, from 2.2?s at low velocity to 11?s, does it still feel like 2.2 ?s from the high energy muon’s perspective?

How can we see LIGO data of merging black holes (BH) by gravitation waves since the Event Horizons (EH) must merge first? Time dilation disallows info behind an EH therefore LIGO data implies some low gravitational field asymptote to get that data?

If during time dilation some of the motion from time is diverted to motion through space when an object is moving, doesn’t this consider space and time as separate entities and counters what Einstein previously said in his Theory of relativity?

If a very long indestructible object approach the even horizon of a black hole, how would it look like to us, given the fact that time dilation of the head and the tail of that object would be highly different? Will the object freeze entirely?
