If a black hole can suck up light. And we measured light at this spacific spot in the unavers. Why can't light go faster to the infanit the farther it moves from mass. Like the edg of the big bang.
I belive the speed of light is determind by the presince of mass and their is no exact answer. Can some one chang my thought.

about speed of light in quoran http://www.speed-light.info/angels_speed_of_light.htm AND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE http://www.ummah.com/ifsa/pages/section3/astronomy/astro5c.htm and it's not the same everywhere
look to einstein equations betwen 1911 and 1955
For the 1911 results see pages 48-49, eqn (3.39):
For the 1955 results but not in coordinates see page 93, eqn (6.28):

I don't think anyone can change your thought.
But the speed of light has been measured, and it is always the same. It can also be calculated from Maxwell's equations.
In 1864 Maxwell showed that the equations predict the existence of waves of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through empty space at a speed that could be predicted from simple electrical experiments, and the speed he calculated was so close to the speed of light (which had already mean measured by others) that he decided light is an electromagnetic disturbance propagated through the field according to electromagnetic laws.

if light is going through an object its speed slows. also scientists have been able to speed up light, idk how. the speed of light in a vaccum is 186,000 miles a second. but i dont see why you think light would go infinitely faster as it moved away from mass. that doesnt really make any sense. and space is basically a vaccum so its traveling at about 186,000 miles a second (it might drop the lightest bit becauses there a little bit of matter but not much). light cant excape black holes because it has a gravity that is so strong that the speed you would need to escape it is faster than the speed of light, and therefore faster than anything we know of in the entire universe.
also i forgot to mention. scientists have ben able to completely stop light by sending it through a bose enstein condensate, matter that is super cooled to near absolute 0.

The presence of mass will ONLY bend the path light travels in, it will not affect its speed. The measured speed of light in a vacuum is the same everywhere regardless of if its close to the sun or in the middle of nowhere.

matter is energy and a black holes sucks in mass,light being energy cannot surrpass the vaccum because light has no force pushing it forward so it has speed but no force and is easily sucked in

The speed of light is 'true`.
Remember that your black hole changes
the length of your 'yardstick`.
Light measures space/time.
The black hole warps space/time.
