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. | The '''event horizon''', in [[theoretical physics]], is the boundary of a [[black hole]] at which nothing can escape, not even light.
