If photons are unable escape the gravitational pull of a Black Hole, how can gravitons do it?

Question

How do gravitons escape the gravitational force of a black hole?

Many of you seem to miss the point... Gravitons have become an important part of QM and string theory. If QM postulates gravitons (and there are Physists who hope to detect them at some point) how does QM & string theory (M theory) resolve the issue of gravitons escaping a black hole. Speaking of Einstein's principles does not resolve the problem it simply says QM is wrong.

Answer 1

Probably by pair production - the energy near a black hole due to gravity pulls two mutually anti particles out of nowhere. One falls in the other flies off. The sea of virtual particles doing this would together create the field.

Answer 2

You're watching too many Star Trek reruns.

No one has proven the existence of a "graviton". Its a theoretical idea based on theories that other fundamental forced are transmitted by the exchange of a subatomic particle from one atom to another.

It is also suggested by the fact that a photon (or an electron for that matter) can be observed as either a particle or as a wave. Physicists theorize that gravity is created as a "bending" of space-time by the mass of the object. The think big gravitational events (like supernovae) could cause gravity to "ripple" like a rock in a pond. If there are ripple (waves) then might the waves also be observable as a particle?

Millions of dollars are being used to create huge tanks of water in deep caverns in order to indirectly observe such waves/particles, but no one have conclusively found any yet...

If they find them, THEN I'll worry about how they get away from the black hole...

Answer 3

Gravitons are as follows
"a hypothetical particle with zero charge and rest mass that is held to be the quantum of the gravitational field" quoted from Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary.
They are hypothetical particles (they only exist in theory), hense one doesn't really know if they exist, whereas with a photon, the exist, and if light is the fastest speed in the known universe (thanks to Albert Einstein and Co.'s help with the quantum theory) hense there must be something special about gravitons. Remember they are only hypothetical.

P.S.
I am not a physists

Answer 4

it is yet yet another theoretical area of technological know-how. A photon's definition via e book could carry that a photon is massless, even though it particularly is in spite of if captured via black holes. Now, the two the books are incorrect, or there is yet another stress that attracts photons into black holes. the only subject that has been shown to return out of black holes is gamma rays.

Answer 5

the gravitons are the particle that (mediates the gravitational interactions) rezults each time when a gravitational interaction is ocured......in the black hole the gravitational force is so big and the number of gravitons emited is proportional.....think about this

Answer 6

If, as Einstein postulates, the curvature of time space causes gravity, then gravitons are not a necessary part and your question becomes mute.

Answer 7

What would seem to be more perplexing and seriously puts doubt in the theory of black holes is that photons have no mass so how can they be effected by gravity at all?

Answer 8

As of yet, gravitons have not been discovered, so their existence is purely theoretical.
