I have been thinking about this for a few weeks and can not come up with an answer. As I understand it a black hole is essentially a gravitational field so powerful not even light can escape it. The last part is what I don't understand. I thought light(photons) was massless. If light has no mass how can it possibly be trapped by a gravitational field? Sorry if this is a trivial question.
