You can only see motionless light if you are moving. I suspect that at the event horizon of a black hole you might be moving at the speed of light which is at that point zero.
As far as transfer of momentum goes, I agree that there is change of momentum. I just don't agree that the energy to make that change necessarily came from the two or three objects in question.

re: Centrifugal vs Gravity
Current physics says that the light will look to go the same speed no matter how you move.

This is basically a mathematical discussion, contrary to this light in the form of xrays has been seen to exit black holes.

True, Chandra can see them in x-ray. It might be misleading to say that x-rays "exit" black holes . They may be formed by matter and or energy interacting with the gravity of a black hole before it enters the event horizon.Michael wrote:This is basically a mathematical discussion, contrary to this light in the form of xrays has been seen to exit black holes.
