I can't remember what kind of laws they've listed for things past the event horizon, but I think there's something on there about no information getting leaked.

So, if I have a black hole (very large one) at a location in space, and then throw, say, a neutron star at it from the left, then once the neutron stars last bit is within the event horizon, it should leave no trace at all. But, since there is a distance between the event horizon and the singularity, that star still travels fromt EH to S before being gobbled up.

What I'm saying is this: Wouldn't the mass of the neutron star pull the black hole in it's direction while the star is inside of the EH, changing the BH's velocity and thus leaving a trace of itself?
