Hi Ken,

I tend to disagree although Black Holes are still essentially unknown. I would prefer to side with scientist at this stage although it is still theory.
I always thought similar to you as there is mass in the black hole and impossibly that mass is supposedly infinte (which is hard to believe). In saying that light would escape but it would have a lot of trouble. Considering our own sun light takes approx 500,000 years to escape the centre of the sun it could be feasible that it could take light billions of years to escape a black hole and the universe as it stand has not existed that long enough to see that reaction.

It is all conjecture and as i have learn't it is nice to have theories but to have a definitive answer like "Yes" is really not science.

On another note Black Holes eject jets out from it core so to speak although this is theorised as coming from the event horizon. It is not impossible to suggest that some of the light that we can't see is converted to jet energy.

I have not learn't enough to be totally sure though and arguements are welcome.
