Huh. Black holes don’t keep things in by “pulling” them via intense gravity. Geometry inside the black hole is so “warped” that when something moves, the only direction it can move is inward. There’s nothing compelling a thing to move, though. Except maybe momentum?

Gravity is curvature in spacetime, so when an object falls toward another object, it is following the curve. But in this case, the object is compelled to follow the curve.

So maybe I didn’t understand that.
