Do you think my theory about gravity, black holes and event horizons is reasonable?

I was ready to think that giant paragraph was full of foolish ideas, but when I read it you actually show a pretty good understanding of the ideas in an intuitive kind of way. Especially that part about how, "If the total mass of that star ended up in a black hole the force of gravity should be no stronger in the black hole because the mass remains the same." That is totally correct and almost nobody gets that part.

The distortion of space and time is best described mathematically. To make these concepts accessible to those of us with less than stellar mathematical ability, the situation is usually described verbally, and not entirely accurately, in more practical terms.

For example it helps to picture a 2 dimensional space and think of how it can be distorted. Such a space is a plane. It is easy to picture such a plane distorted into a third dimension. The entire universe could then be pictured as a plane curved into a sphere.

The acceleration due to gravity depends on how much mass there is and also how dense it is . Therefore as a star collapses, the acceleration at it's surface increases until light cannot escape. This object is called a black hole.

Light can be envisioned as a tiny disturbance in an extended space-time, just as a wave on a pond is a disturbance of the surface of the pond.

According to theory, gravity can propagate as a wave. There are experiments in progress to attempt to detect these waves.

You answered your own question in your first sentence. "The General Theory of Relativity states that a massive body warps space around it, and light will follow the curved space." So what is being curved is space (actually, it is the 4 dimensional space-time continuum).

In relativity, the force of gravity is just an illusion. Everything goes from point A to point B via a straight line. Think of a piece of paper with a straight line. Now what happens if you decide to curve that piece of paper around a basketball? The line is no longer straight. It just curved around the basketball and you just duplicated the phenomenon of light curving around a massive body

The Event horizon is the point in space-time where space-time basically folded onto itself. Image our piece of paper and with its line perpendicular to a surface. Near a mass, that piece of paper would start to bend toward the surface. The more massive, the more severe the bend. At the event horizon, that paper has been bend 180deg and the line on that piece of paper has traveled, via a straight line, right back onto the surface itself.

I agree with the others your theory has holes. Gravitational force isn't the only force of black holes, there are magnetic forces as well. Light doesn't need anything to advance with, light is a constant wave that goes on and on. But to say for light to be visable it needs matter of some sort to reflect it. Also don't forget that during the big bang all force, matter and energy were together, and for the expansion one needs energy, so technically in theory light could be the energy. But anyway light doesn't need graviational fields to advance, light is a independent wave that is created from a source...END OF CONVO

this theory has holes than a sieve

I think you should go to school and study physics if it interests you.
