We’re talking in terms of general relativity, which models gravity as the geometry of spacetime, so the most accurate way to think about it is that beyond the event horizon spacetime is curved so steeply that the speed you would need to be going to avoid falling towards the singularity is faster than the speed of light.Of course, talking about the inside of a black hole in terms of general relativity is problematic because the fact that the theory predicts a singularity at the center is an indication that there’s something wrong with the model. It doesn’t adequately describe reality under those conditions. Basically, whatever we think we know about what goes on past the event horizon is probably wrong, and we won’t be able to figure out what actually goes on in there without a theory of quantum gravity.</blockquote>
