so in other words, the black hole's gravitational pull is *faster* than light.

And hey, I'm not bullshitting anyone


ht.

12Clicks.... interesting point here......

If you think about it, motion causes gravity. The early rotates on its axis, causing a gravitational pull = to 9.8 meters / second sqaured.

Any object which travels faster than that rate, + a little lift flys. Gravity pulls on the object until the speed of that object is less than 9.8 m / s squared at which point it hits the earth.

Think of throwing a baseballl, when you first throw it, it fly's but then as it slows, it falls to the earth. The path of a base ball is curved arch.

Now apply that to light. In order for light to bend or be affeted by gravity, the gravitational pull would have to be stronger than the speed of light. Otherwise, light would not be affected by the pull much like a baseball is not affected by gravity when its intial veolicty is greater than 9.8 meters / second sqaured.

To me this means like 12 clicks said that the black whole must be traveling faster than the speed of light in order to generate enough gravity to bend light. The fact that matter becomes infinelty massive as it reaches the speed of light would then also explain the mass of a black whole.

However, if this is all true, then we should be able to time travel through black wholes.


Interesting thought 12 clicks.... going to read about today
