If light cannot escape the gravitational pull of black holes, how is it that scientists have detected plumes of radiation coming from them?

Speed of gravity is 2.55 × 10^8 and 3.81 × 10^8 meters-per-second,Last I checked, we have some direct evidence of black holes and a lot of indirect evidence that is almost direct to the point of it might as well being direct.
The reasoning in that article is flawed. In the relativistic model the warping of spacetime isn't like particles. Light is a particle. I'm not sure on the specifics of gravity waves, but it's worth pointing out that only the spacetime right on and past the event horizion is not able to escape. So light and gravity can travel away even just a hair outside of that. The light is severely redshifted of course. There is actually a phenomenon known as Hawking radiation where there is a slight halo of a glow just outside the event horizion due to this boundary area (where the light comes from is a matter takes some understanding/explaining of quantum mechanics that I don't feel like explaining atm but it involves matter and anti matter pairs).
If I understand correctly all gravity waves travel at the speed of light, and probably have the same property of having that fixed speed and so probably have some kind of equivalent to a redshift. So, so long as it's not past the event horizon it can propagate out.
It's been a while since I've brushed up on the subject, but anyone who's actually taken a casual interest a little further than just dabbling in reading about astronomy and blackholes should be able to understand on at least some level that this article is wrong in it's reasoning. People who study this kind of thing for their entire lives would of thought of such a basic refutation if it were true. Scientists are always trying to outdo each other... if someone could so easily disprove blackholes it would shake the scientific community and make them very famous and influential. Making a groundbreaking discovery like that is what every scientist dreams of. Of course, by this point there is too much evidence to refute that they exist, so any such discovery would most likely be that in some fundamental way we misunderstood black holes.

I did a quick Google. It's not an exact measurment but a calculated estimate.I'd have to read up on it. I never got too much into the specific math more just the conceptual understandings.

It was the direct calculation in the context as was taken from the article.Key word left out: *between*.
Pretty pictures, quickie articles, and anecdotal hypothetical arguments of 'proof' offer nothing, and, of course, nothing is nor can be proven in science.
The existence black holes have been identified and their nature falsified by scientific methods. To find the hypothesis of the existence, you would have provide a valid explanation of the evidence for what we directly observe as black holes like the one at the center of our galaxy. If it is not a black hole what is it?

This is no argument at all against black holes.
