Reading about the space elevator concept got me thinking about this. It is known that time is slower near Earth's surface, and faster out in space. Plus, the faster one moves, the slower time moves. So with a space elevator -- anything that has a physical link from Earth's surface to an "anchor" in space -- the space anchor would be in a faster time than the Earth base. And along the physical link, time would be different along each measurable piece.
Dropping an anchor from an orbiting spacecraft into a black hole, the anchor going down would be slowing in time. What would be the effects of this? Once the anchor reaches a close proximity to the event horizon, it would be almost stopped in time, but the orbiting spacecraft would still be moving around. What's the theoretical outcome of this?
