Thanks for the very informative reply. Am I correct in interpreting then that the belief in black holes stems from the assumption that a singularity can occur? Does the mathematics allows for a piece of space to travel faster than light relative to the center of the black hole? What about...

I posted a similar question under cosmology but the question was unable to be answered. I thought I would try a reframe the question. When approaching a black holes event horizon, the exit cone for light become smaller until it is eliminated at the event horizon itself. But how can gravity...

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the replies I didn't mean to imply the equivence principle applied to a distant observer. My question is meant to refer to an object at the event horizon of say a large enough black hole where the difference in tidal force is not an issue. So...

My understanding is that, according to the Equivalence Principle, accelerated motion is indistinguishable from that of being in a gravitational field. So then, at the Event Horizon of a black hole, where gravity is too great for light to escape, wouldn't that be equivalent to accelerated motion...
