It's not rare, it's not even documented and is all a theory (other than knowing that they exist). The light is not 'bending' in the pool, it is creating an optical illusion, the light can be refracted, reflected, yes. But not bent ie what is theorized in how black holes steal and destroy light.
Obviously it is zero mass or anti-matter (at its non-existent core), but that doesn't mean it's infinitely dense, nothing is infinite, it could litteraly be destroyed like a blender removing ions from particles until nothing exists. You cant just say "oh black holes dont apply to normal time space" because that is a joke. Once the black hole has destroyed everything it can in its area, it no longer has 'fuel' to keep it going, so it eats itself. That doesn't mirror any theories of mass projection or whatever.
think of a blackhole like a hurricane in space, they appear if the timing is right in several factors the most obvious one being a collapsed star. So in essense a black hole is an antistar. How and why i have no clue, maybe it's just a clean up device or maybe it's just an anomoly caused by the recycled star systems, but still it is able to destroy light. Physically remove it from existence despite having a constant source, it drinks it up and can even soak it up the point that the star's light cant be seen at all (eventually destroying the other star), and that has ***nothing*** to do with gravity.
of course, I dont have an answer either. :D But gravity is not the answer. Magnetic interference has been documented to actually restructure light, yunno like sun spots effecting electronics, etc. They dont seem to get along, so i can see how an extreme magnetic distortion could alter light path and structure, but not BEND and EVACUATE light.
the sun has a gravity that is extremely intense, yet light imminates from it at the same speed one mile from it's surface as it does 200 million miles from its surface. if gravity affected light then we'd be fucked, you could make something infinitely dense with a gravity that is equal to the weight and mass of the universe (wouldn't that suck?) and light would function normally... nothing else would, including the light's source :D but the light itself would not be affected.
