Faster than Speed of Light? Yes.

OK, the debate has rattled on long enough without any real answers: Is anything faster than the speed of light?

I say yes, simply by using common sense.

I'm sure you have all heard of a 'Black Hole'.

The best known attribute of a Black Hole is that it does not allow light to escape.
How can it do this?

By simple reasoning I realise that the Black Hole is 'sucking in' faster than light can escape, meaning that the sucking is faster than the Speed of Light.

Sounds correct to me

So, whatever the action of the inwards motion into a Black Hole is called, it is faster than the Speed of Light.

End of Lecture.
I'll take my Nobel Prize now thanks
