: : Any answers would be appreciated to explain these : : phenomenon.

: ACCORDING TO EINSTEIN SPEED OF LIGHT CANNOT BE EXCEEDED.....HIS THEORY OF RELATIVITY HAS BEEN PROVEN MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS.....HOWEVER, INSIDE A BLACK HOLE, LAWS OF PHYSICS DO NOT APPLY....ALL BETS ARE OFF AND ANYTHING GOES....SORT OF LIKE THE OLD WILD WEST
