Is there an explanation for the lack of star formation at the boundaries
of black holes. It seems that with the tremendous gravitational
influence of a black hole that matter streaming toward it wouldn undergo
severe gravitational compression -- enough to form protostars. It seems
reasonable that we should observe lots of nebula like conditions as we
approach the event horizon. Is there an explanation based on what
happens to particles as they are accelerated toward the event horizon.
