What is the speed of light at the event horizon of a black hole where gravity is so immense that light cannot escape?

186,000 miles per second, the same as everywhere else in the universe. Actually, nobody knows what it is like near the event horizon of a black hole. We can only theorize since nobody has ever been close to a black hole.

Most physicists agree that the speed of light is a constant in the universe. The observer's frame of reference can be different, but the measured speed will remain the same. Black holes do not slow down light and turn it around.

Their gravity bends space into a curve so tight that the light curves with the space, and all directions light can travel end up curving back to point back at the black hole. The light is still traveling at the same speed. I hope this helps..

Speed of Light is An Absolute Limit Off the cuff I can't tell you where I know this... probably an Einstein theory but as I understand it nothing can exceed the speed of light... not even light. But light can be slower than that absolute limit... the event horizon speeds everything up that is accelerating into it even matter. Light never exceeds the speed of light... and matter is converted to energy when it attains the speed of light.

That last part about the conversion of matter to energy is mine... I don't know where that came from... juse one of those internal pieces of knowlege I use to understand the universe around me. Light coming from matter being converted to energy and from light generated at the core cannot get out to reach your eyes because of the gravitational pull on it and so it appears dark... I think a black hole would appear as a fuzzy or solid pure black oval in the sky if we had one approaching Earth and looked up and saw it.

Division by zero by the main assumption of relativity, the speed of light is the same everywhere. Except right at an event horizon, where the usual formulas end up with a zero denominator. So the answer is "undefined".

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
