Q&A: Black Holes
Black hole gravity is strong enough to trap light. So exactly
how hard would the gravity pull on you and a spaceship near
the core?
The matter falling toward the singularity inside a black hole
would indeed acquire higher and higher energies, and its
speed would approach, but not exceed the speed of light.
