Currently, scientists believe that nothing can escape a black hole. In theory, what would an object have to do to be able to escape the gravitational pull of a black hole toward its singularity?%0D%0A%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0AGrow to 1,600 AU.%0D%0A%0D%0AGrow to 1,600 AU.%0D%0A%0D%0AShrink to the diameter of a bowling ball.%0D%0A%0D%0AShrink to the diameter of a bowling ball.%0D%0A%0D%0ATravel faster than the speed of light.%0D%0A%0D%0ATravel faster than the speed of light.%0D%0A%0D%0ATransform entirely into light particles.

Travel faster than the speed of light.
Inside a black hole's event horizon the required escape speed exceeds c, and since nothing can travel faster than light according to relativity, escape is impossible (turning into light doesn't help because photons are also trapped).
