The first paragraph discusses how that within a certain radius of a black hole (event horizon), the necessary escape velocity result in nothing being able to escape.  This is actually a common misunderstanding, resulting from using classical equations to describe relativistic mechanics.  The reason light and matter cannot escape from past the event horizon of a black hole is because of the time dilation.  After crossing the event horizon, this dilation results in all possible paths light could take going farther into the black hole.  Once within this radius, moving farther towards the black hole is as inevitable as moving forward in time.
