Light is an electromagnetic wave. A black hole's gravity is supposedly strong 
enough to pull in light. However, what if it isn't the gravity but its 
magnetic field. As far as I know a neutron star's magnetic field is extremely 
strong. Well if a black hole's magnetic field is any where near as strong as 
its gravational field then its magnetic field may stop the light, not its 
gravity.
