Coz I know you all loved my last question, here's another one I often wonder about. It has been said, and agreed upon by many that the nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, including of course light itself. Keep in mind it was believed once that if you exceeded 20 miles an hour in a horseless carriage you would die from untold pressure on your body.
Now here's the tricky bit, if nothing can travel faster than light, and black holes really exist, based on light not being able to escape the massive gravity, then wouldn't the velocity created by that gravity be faster than the speed of light? If it were the same as the speed of light then the light would stand still but we would still see it? Of course that means that any object (say a pebble) falling in to a black hole would travel faster than the speed of light once it passed the event horizon. That and my Chev. Personally, I like to belive that light speed is merely a number like KPH and therefore something could travel at many light speeds.
