Black holes are objects so massive, that their escape velocity is the speed of light.
A graviton is a particle of gravity which travels at the speed of light.
So how would a graviton escape a black hole, since it travels below its escape velocity?
But if gravity can't escape the black hole, how would space around the hole get warped? Or would the space surrounding the mass be more of a "black cliff", where anything that crossed the Swartzchild radius would enter, but nothing else would even detect the black hole's presence (except for Hawing raditation)?
Something's not making sense here. Hopefully, it's just me.
