Light can't escape the event horizon of a black hole because space beyond that point actually curves back onto itself. That is, mathematically, every straight line at every point within the event horizon of a black hole leads back into the black hole.

I had a question on this idea. Blackholes have X-ray/Gamma Waves coming off of them. Does that theory you support say these are reflection off the black hole, generated by the black hole or something else?
