Thanks for your comments everyone. May I ask another question to see if I have understood things? I read that the reason you cannot escape from a black hole is not because you can't go fast enough but because spacetime curves so much that the only direction you can go in is towards the black hole. Beyond the event horizon that is. Is that right?

Thanks

Shane
