>>50862949>blackholes had a gravitational force that was technically faster than light or a force that could pull something faster than the speed of light.That isn't entirely correct. The way black holes trap light is in fact a lot more, how should I say this, metal?
So basically, you've probably seen some simulation of space objects and there was this grid they were on, right? That is our visual representation of spacetime, or space itself would be a more common term. Think of it as a trampoline.
So an interesting thing that happens between this spacetime and objects with high mass (stars, planets, black holes, etc.) is that the gravity of the objects actually bends spacetime, and this is often represented by said objects kinda making a dent in that grid we mentioned before. Think of it as putting something heavy on a trampoline.
So when it comes to light, these bends in spacetime actually "curve it". Technically, the light is still going straight, it's just that the space it's traveling on isn't straight. So with the trampoline analogy, imagine if you rolled a small ball across it while that heavy object was still on it. The path of the ball would curve a little. This is all very oversimplified, but it will get the point across.
So how do black holes trap light then? Simple. Their gravity is so strong that spacetime not only curves, but, after the event horizon, which is that last bit of light before it's all black in the black hole, curves into itself! This means that despite light traveling straight and as fast as it always has, once it passes the event horizon, it cannot escape because the space it's traveling on will keep looping into itself, effectively trapping it.
