Everyone replying to you is wrong.
Gravity affects time. Time dilation occurs with intense gravity.
If time cannot pass relative to the outside, it appears as though nothing, not even light, is moving. Therefore, no light is "escaping".

When you are sitting still relative to something else, you are traveling the speed of light through time.
When you move very fast, you move slower through time, relative to other things.
Time is the 4th dimension. Anything beyond X,Y,Z,T is the 5th or whatever dimension crap you want to think up.
This is proven stuff. Time dilation is a known thing. Relativity.

The gravity is not holding the light in. It's that time is basically stopped in the black hole, compared to the outside.
