Alright, that makes sense. I think it is my own ignorance, when I watch YouTube channels like Vsauce and MinutePhysics that is what I understand from it. Thanks for clarifying!

So, what exactly do people mean when they say 'everything is moving away from everything else'?

If everything in the universe is moving away from everything else in the universe, how can Andromeda collide in the distant future with the Milky Way?

Thanks. This is the most detailed response to my question and I think I understand it and the answer to it better. Some thing are still vague though, like what you mean by bending space-time and why that is any different from throwing a ball and watch it fall down to Earth (or any other object...

I think I understand better now, light does not travel slower but instead, the distance it has to travel is infinite because the space around the light particle is curved. I's still a bit lost thought but I guess it takes more than a few lines of information to fully comprehend these kinds of...

I don't know what any of these words mean :P

Hi @CentrifugalKing, Thank you for your reply, however I know that happens inside a black hole but that wasn't my question. My question in: If light always travels at the speed of light regardless of circumstances, how can it be trapped? In other words: how can the speed of light be changed if...

Hi @mfb , thank you for your reply. I still don't fully understand; do you mean that light will orbit the center of the black hole?

I have learned that light has a constant speed of 299 792 458 m / s or C and that this speed cannot be changed by anything, how can a black hole "trap" light if this speed cannot change? Is it because time is also trapped, so a second lasts infinitely long?
