You 'see' things when light (photons) are reflected off a surface, and absorbed by your retina.

A black hole's gravitational field is so strong, that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Any photons within a certain radius will be unable to escape. Since no photons are being emitted, the black hole appears black and gives off no light.

How does light calculate in a black hole?

I am not aware of light calculating anything in a black hole.


Is a black hole faster than light?

No, a black hole is not faster than light.


What is the brilliant light coming from a black hole?

if there is light surrounding a black hole it is normally from material entering into the event horizon of the black hole.


Can you make light circular?

Only around a black hole. There is a sphere around every black hole where light orbits the black hole.


If light can be pulled into a black hole that suggests mass What is the weight per square meter?

light has no mass and therefore no weight. Light cannot be "pulled" into a black hole. The escape velocity from a black hole is greater than the speed of light, so no light can escape from a black hole. Spacetime in the vicinity of a black hole is greatly distorted by the hole's gravity, and light may travel along curved geodesics that intersect the black hole. But it is not pulled in.


How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?

The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape


Can light escape black holes?

No. The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light.


Can the speed of light escape a black hole?

No, the speed of light cannot escape a black hole because the gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that even light cannot escape it.


Can wind escape a black hole?

No! Not even light can escape the black hole!


Can a black hole be pink?

No, to be pink it would have to emit light and no light can escape a black hole's event horizon.


What is the speed of light near to the event horizon of a Black hole?

The speed of light is a constant, it does not matter in or out of a black hole.


Can light escape from a black hole?

No, light cannot escape from a black hole due to its strong gravitational pull.
