SUMMARY
Neutrinos, despite being extremely light and previously thought to be massless, have been confirmed to possess mass. This mass, however small, influences their interaction with the gravitational field of a black hole. According to established theories, no particle, including neutrinos, can escape the event horizon of a black hole due to the curvature of space-time. Thus, neutrinos cannot pass through the singularity unhindered, as they are still subject to the effects of gravity.
