Can a body approach at the speed of light as it approaches a black hole?
I was wondering about the speed of light and black holes. Can a body approach the speed of light as it approaches a black hole?
Yes, as an object gets closer to a black hole, its gravitational attraction becomes stronger, accelerating it to faster and faster speeds. However, it can never quite reach the speed of light because of the way that time slows down near a black hole.
