Maybe no singularity light,just ambient left over star light???It makes sense to figure that the event horizon is the spherical wall that does allow light past,yet reflects/pulls? it toward the sigularity.I wonder if it would be the brightest thing in universe do to the amount of matter trapped within,yet completely invisible to our eyes because of the intense gravity....Tom Science 4

Don't think of the event horizon as a wall, think of it as an extreme curve in space to the point where it loops ever inward. The "boundary" is simply where the loop starts. It ends at the singularity. Hawking has predicted that Black holes eventually 'evaporate'. So there is some mechanism for getting energy back out of a Black Hole, but as for it acting like some sort of reflective photon oven, I doubt it.

a singularity has a size of an atom or smaller.

the event horizon is the distance from singularity at which time is space are "normal". this is less than a theory, linked to string theory (or M theory)

photons have a very very small mass - so they are very little affected by gravity. but a black hole has enough gravity to change the trajectory of the photons up to absorbing them if they pass close enough.

a singularity expels matter/energy on its poles, particle by particle but with a rate just a bit higher then absorption rate. - new theory

If a black hollow could exist once you penetrated the form horizon the gravity would proceed to enhance via fact each and all of the mass and gravity would be centred on the midsection in comparison to a common celestial physique the place once you penetrate the floor a number of the mass and gravity is now between you and the floor and say orbital velocity would be much less,this prevents the existence of a black hollow.

The gravity inside a singularity is so intense, likely atomic structure breaks down and matter enters a pure, disordered quark state. Photons would not so much "reflect" as weave their way in between other quarks. All sped up and no place to go.

Hi. I think the event horizon is a barrier to photon penetration. Any photon CLOSER to the singularity would either have to travel faster than light or have the space around it distorted such that the photon does not exceed the speed of light IN THE MEDIUM IN WHICH IT TRAVELS, just like normal.
