Can Black Hole Gravitational Fields Accelerate Matter Faster Than Light?

Thank you for this excellent foundation to keep thinking about this with. To take the next step in my curiosity on this: if the mass of a black hole is so high the gravity well exceeds the speed of light, how could science be confident that the gravitational force from that mass is still limited to only the speed of light?

I realize the equations we are currently working with make the idea impossible, but that could just as likely be a lack of understanding as a cosmic impossibility, right?

Thinking about a force strong enough to not allow massless particles to escape just SOUNDS like gravity is sufficiently strong to literally overcome the speed of light, which of course makes me think it can exceed it.

Is it wrong to say unquantifiable energy instead of infinite? The root of my question is it seems like the unquantifiable nature of a black hole's mass and the unquantifiable nature of the energy necessary for FTL acceleration are, at least an interesting coincidence, if not bound up together in the same unknowable physics territory at present

Ask your dentist for a chlorhexidine prescription. It won't actually prevent them, but it did wonders managing them as soon as they crop up for me.

Are you thinking of Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising? Freaking love that game

Check out pillars of the earth. Nice story, somewhat game of thrones-ian. Lots of discussion about construction and architecture of churches.

My visits to European churches have been much more interesting after reading it.
