Light outside of the event horizon

[lawtonfogle]

light in the event horizon does not come out, right. If this is due to gravity will light on the edge of the event horizon, butnot in it, be bent, so that when we look at the light beside a black hole, it is not coming from the behind the black hole, but from an angel.

pretend the ____ is not there
the light is coming from f but appears to be coming from s

the 'picture' is not perfect but pretend the light still goes strait

Yes, that is correct. Light outside of the event horizon of a black hole can still escape and be visible to an observer. However, light that crosses the event horizon cannot escape due to the extreme gravitational pull. This results in the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, where light from the edge of the event horizon is bent around the black hole, making it appear to come from a different direction. This is because the gravity of the black hole warps the fabric of spacetime, causing light to follow a curved path. So, when we look at the light beside a black hole, it may seem to be coming from an angle that is different from its actual source. This is a fascinating aspect of black holes and has been studied extensively by scientists.
