It's a consequence of the bending of spacetime around a singularity. All possible paths that light (or anything else) can take through spacetime lead towards the singularity.
- criddell 9y agoSo it's the same mechanism as gravitational lensing (or whatever it's called) that bends the path a photon takes when it passes something massive?
- Santosh83 9y agoYes, except here its much more extreme so that inside a certain distance (event horizon) spacetime is bent in such a way that all paths through it lead towards the singularity. That's the theory at least.
