Since MERLIN, the acronym for the Multi Element Radio Linked Inerferometer
Network, seems to have uncovered the fact that matter being sucked into
a black hole can release very hot gases at speeds greater than 90% that
of the speed of light, my question is, given the close proximity of these
heretofore apparently trapped gases to the black hole (GRS1915),
at what speed might they have initially been 'set free'?
The massive gravitational pull exerted by the black hole must have greatly
reduced their escape. What does this do to Einstein's notion that
nothing can exceed 'c'? Does this mean what MERLIN captured is a
possible photograph of time travel into the past?
