Assuming the theory is true, how come the fastest thing in the universe cannot get out from surface of a black hole?

Thats what i am saying.
My theory (Well thinking actually but that sounds better ) is
That the blackhole has infinite gravity so it converts all the mass into energy. We know about lights dual nature (particulate and wave motion, given by Prince Louis-Victor de Broglie and hence light has a de broglie wave) So i feel that all the mass is also converted into energy. But the point is that the black hole is a self imploded star so does it have mass ?? If it does it can store energy else i dont know how it keeps the energy. I'll need to think a bit more.

So even light having velocity of 3 x 10 ^8 m/s ie 30,00,00,000 m/s or 3 hundred thousand km/s is pulled into the blackhole due to its infinite gravity.

I havent read stephen hawking's book though i planned to do so last may and well now i'll get time in this may so i'll buy one book costing 1.5 USD (2nd hand book ) then i'll be more sure.
The only books i have read except for my academics in my life are all 5 harry potter books and the 22 volume set of the world book of encyclopidia. So i'd love to read "A Brief History Of Time"

Thats an idea from a movie. Newayz there is the worm hole theory u might know. I'll explain it in brief.
All of us have learnt atleast a bit of geometry and all of us know that the shortest distance between two points is the direct distance between them.
Consider a paper. Take 2 points at their ends. So if i ask u to show me the shortest distance between the points then u'll draw a straight line between them. That would usually be correct but there is a shorter way. The answer there is bend the hole paper and make a hole through the paper with your pen/pencil. Now thats the shortest distance. So that is called as a wormhole. There is no theory to say that such a thing does exist. It is totally hypothetical well not even hypothetical its only in sci-fi and in the past few years some scientists believe (well more of hope than belief) that wormholes exist. Cause they will help u travel through space in extremely short time periods. Well some even believe that u could travel through time as well but then it will be really dodgy .
Lets see what happens I saw the paper analogy on the discovery channel but came up with the geometrical part right now
