The '''event horizon''' is the boundary of a theoretical [[black hole]] at which nothing can escape the hole. At this point the [[escape velocity]] equals the [[speed of light]].

The '''event horizon''', in [[theoretical physics]], is the boundary of a [[black hole]] at which nothing can escape, not even light. At this distance from the black hole's center, the [[escape velocity]] equals the [[speed of light]], so not even light can get out.
