Question: if nothing can travel faster than light, then how does a blackhole work?
The gravitational acceleration of a blackhole exceeds the speed of light, that's why light cannot escape the pull of the blackhole's gravity.
Of course conventional wisdom doesn't work beyond 30% of the speed of light. We have to ditch mechanics and move to relativity at that speed.
