All masses fall alike. This means that gravity could move a
potentially infinite mass without resistance. In this sense gravity is
an all powerful force.

Mitch Reamsch; Falling light chnages colour

Falling light does indeed change color; the question is how much.

Do you have a formula?

It depends on whether it is going in or out of gravity.
The actual quantity I believe is called the Einstein shift.

And that is ... ?

Also, how does something fall out of gravity?

At a black hole the Einstein shift goes infinite. So light at the
event horizon going in gets infinitely blueshifted while light coming
out gets infinitely redshifted.

So black holes make two nonsense predictions at their event horizons:
Infinite Energy Light and Zero Energy Light.

Black hole theory brakes down first at the event horizon then inside.

Black holes are going out with a bang.

If I understand you correctly, black holes never were (they are, after
all, a working hypothesis). So now one has to cast about for
alternative explanations for various pictures, among them Cygnus X-1.

This should not be too difficult for you, but you'll need
to get the observations exactly right in your alternative
model. A black hole of a certain mass explains X-1
reasonably well, as I understand it, in standard physics.

A fair number here of course consider standard physics hopelessly
corrupted, by those who aren't open to "new, correct" ideas or some
such. Me, I tend to follow the herd.
