Do Gamma particles exceed light speed when escaping the Singularity, as in a Gamma ejection from the poles

that the ejecta from black holes might be traveling faster than the speed of light. This is really due to an effect called superluminal boosting, which can be thought of as a sort of optical illusion caused by line of sight differences between the observer and emitted jet stream - In reality there is no violation of the speed of light.-No, because of wave-particle duality.http://simple.......
Gamma rays are produced by various electromagnetic interactions and nuclear activities, but never by gravity.

A few other things:
Light speed is ~186,000 miles / second :p
Gamma 'particles' are still photons, just like any quanta of light. And like any other photon, they travel at the set speed of light, c, within a given medium.
The thing that differentiates gamma rays from visible light, or infrared or any other kind of light is their extremely high energy. This is expressed by their short wavelength and very high frequency, since: Energy = E = hf = hc / lambda.
It was first thought, however, that the ejecta from black holes might be traveling faster than the speed of light. This is really due to an effect called 'superluminal boosting', which can be thought of as a sort of optical illusion caused by line of sight differences between the observer and emitted jet stream - In reality there is no violation of the speed of light.

no, nothing can be faster than light
