It is interesting to read of experiments attempting to bring light to a halt. Inevitably, it is mentioned by the experimenters that as the speed of light slows to a crawl and then ceases to move (from our frame) conditions resemble those in a black hole. It all sounds so exotic doesn't it?

"Frozen" light is not exotic. What is matter and the reality we perceive on 4D event horizon surfaces...but frozen light? I don't move relative to myself at all, yet the matter of which I consist IS energy, and ultimately consists of photons. "Matter" is information stored on 4D event horizon surfaces...photons compacting and plunging into the cosmic singularity.

What we are studying when we investigate frozen light are the actual parameters of the geometric universe, the nature of dark energy, the cosmic abyss or Planck Realm- and the essence of what we really mean when we talk about invariance, proper and remote time. Our existence as observers on 4D event horizon surfaces creates this reality, in which we experience the proper time collapse of the cosmos slowly, remotely observing from a superposed inversely mapped location in a second three/ space.

We can no more escape the dual Schwarzschild two-sphere geometry in an observer based universe than we can escape from our own skins!
