Actually, gravity affects the speed of light. So, no telling HOW far away it actually is/was, or when it blew up.

You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

Indirectly, then, gravity could affect how long it takes us to SEE Light, if the light is taking a longer path (due to the influence of gravity), no?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Not that you'll believe a single thing in any of them, but Setterfield's hypothesis has been totally dismissed, even by the Institute for Creation Research...go figure!

So is there no light whatsoever in a black hole or does gravity prevent it from moving toward us?
Transplanted Yankee
It sounds to me like the black hole pulls the light into it but that the light maintains it's speed.
Senior Member
And what happens to it when it reaches the mass causing the black hole?

Who cares.

You start a thread and mock those who participate in it ??????? There's a lesson in here somewhere for us all.
Banned
Not mocking. Just asking.
