If the speed of light is the fastest source of energy in the universe, then why can't it escape a black hole?

i'm going to need some mathmatical proof
>>
The event horizon of a black hole is defined as the boundary at which all possible trajectories within spacetime are curved to such a degree that any possible future leads “downward”. An analogy can be made of sound waves traveling through a moving medium. We’ll invent a waterfall that somehow is not subject to air resistance, and say we had a waterfall that started from such a height so that the water falling towards the bottom of it fell faster than the speed of sound in water. Trying to send up a sound wave from the bottom would be like the light trying to escape from beyond the event horizon.

>mathmatical proof
x+1
Where x is some blatant, pulled out of science a** of arbitrary assumed forces from hallucinated deductions of dubious conclusions from wavelength transposed ccd receiving's of fainted nebulae and suns while +1 is max. distance to the next paycheck in months.

a blackhole is maybe an absence of physics, therefore physics and gravitons are faster than light.

I don't get it, plus i didn't read more than a sentance and a half of what you typed
>>
>>17040712
okay, I just read it

I still don't get it
>>
>>17040567
it can though

>>17040713
there will a come a time when you accept that you're stupid. its quite common

Say the speed of sound in some fluid was 5 m/s. However, the fluid is flowing at a velocity of 6 m/s to the right. If you try to send a sound wave “up” the fluid (against its flow, i.e. to the left), you’ll end up with a signal traveling at 1 m/s to the right, since the sound waves are traveling slower than the flow of the medium it’s in.

In the case of light, to answer with a definitive ‘why’ wouldn’t be possible without resorting to deeper (and thus far, purely theoretical) models of physics. The analogy with the sound waves is merely a way of relating a real way for how a signal may never reach the direction it was intended to go, with the actual concept of a sonic/acoustic black hole having been done experimentally. But as an actual, mechanistic description for why light can’t escape? There are theories of light being a quasiparticle, a phonon or a collective excitation that is analogous to a sound wave propagating through some background medium (see superfluid vacuum theory). But again, these are merely analogies made to describe the behavior we see in more intuitive ways, and we don’t truly know through a lens of physics what stuff “is” and why it is.

Because the fastest thing isn't infinitely fast, what kind of retarded question is this?
>how come the fastest human can't escape a cheetah he is the fastest after all!

so everything is a lie? great I knew it the space projects are all a vanity project just like dinosuars
