Escape velocity formula for light speed

1,298

So I've gotten conflicting answers from different calc mods about this.

If a planet, or body, or room, but not a black hole, has gravity strong enough to prevent objects with escape velocity of light speed, does the normal escape velocity formula still work? Or it's not quantifiable with any formula?
 
Yeah, we don’t generally apply physics formulas to such physics breaking occurrences afaik. But it does make me wonder why the CGMs said it was fine.
 
I'd say that becomes physics breaking so yeah the formula wouuldn't really apply. A planet with such gravity would have turned into a bh already no so the physics is already wacky
Thanks

Maybe it wasn't his string suit, was a bit of a surprise when the initial calc was knocked back because of that reason tho
