  4. 03:06 Would you really see the back of your head? The way our vision works is that we see the patterns of photons bouncing off other objects. However would photons orbiting around a black hole bounce off your the back of your head to create an image? I wouldn't think so... If anything I would expect you would see something that looks more akin to a long shadow of yourself as your presence disrupts the flow of photons, but without enough information in the disruption to actually see details.
