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

The existence of gravitons has not been proven.
The existence of gravitons is postulated by quantum theory. For them to exist, they must be massless. Assuming that they massless, they are unaffected by gravity. Thus, they can escape from a blackhole.

This is yet another theoretical part of science. A photon's definition by book may hold that a photon is massless, but it is nonetheless captured by black holes. Now, either the books are wrong, or there is another force that draws photons into black holes. The only thing that has been proven to come out of black holes is gamma rays.

you're gazing too many celeb Trek reruns. no person has shown the existence of a "graviton". Its a theoretical theory according to theories that different elementary compelled are transmitted via the substitute of a subatomic particle from one atom to a diverse. it is likewise stated via the undeniable fact that a photon (or an electron for that count) could properly be reported as the two a particle or as a wave. Physicists theorize that gravity is created as a "bending" of area-time via the mass of the object. The think of vast gravitational activities (like supernovae) ought to reason gravity to "ripple" like a rock in a pond. If there are ripple (waves) then ought to the waves additionally be observable as a particle? hundreds of thousands of greenbacks are getting used to create extensive tanks of water in deep caverns with a view to circuitously be conscious such waves/debris, yet no person have conclusively chanced on any yet... in the event that they locate them, THEN i will issue approximately how they get faraway from the black hollow...

I thought that once something entered a black hole, it either never came out or lost it's energy or something. There has never been seen energy escaping a black hole.

Yes Qtis, but aren't photons massless?
