They are a particular quanta. It appears they are the very small numerical value of Plank's constant known as "h". Because the force of gravity performs work, it is necessary that it have an energy source. The physics trilogy describes this act in the last equation: E = mc2, m = E/c, and c2 = E/m. This last equation describes the force of gravity as being part of an energy structure, the energy in this instance being that of the heat energy contained within the mass. Stephen Hawking in, “A Brief History of Time” page 92, paragraph 3, states; “Like light, gravitational waves carry energy away from the objects that emit them.” We see that the force of gravity requires an energy source for it to exist. "The Problem and Repair of Relativity" found at http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc is a short paper that explains this further.

They aren't really emitted. Imagine a magnet swinging as a pendulum. As the magnet moves, the magnetic field around it moves. The observed change in that field could be considered a wave. There is some evidence that gravitational waves exist, but none have ever been detected.

following standard physics practice put -on at the end - GRAVITON.
Gravity warps space-time so they are not emitted - they simply are.
Imagine a thin rubber sheet stretched out. This is space-time. Now put a bowling ball on it. This is a gravity "source", eg a planet. The ball will make a dent in the rubber sheet. Now try to roll a ball bearing past the bowling ball it will spiral intards. This is a crude example of how gravity works

;-o I seriously doubt it !?! .,. See: If the Earth has'nt been thrown off it's orbital path around what's basically a star that we know best as our sun!! .,. Yet; After all the time that animals that has left s0o much evidence that they once existed & roamed about the Earth!! For instance the (mas'to`don's,) Dinosaurs,hippo's,woolly mammoth's had'nt weighed the Earth down in such a way that it was thrown off its eliptical orbit around the sun'. as`much as it very well could've !?! By now.' I think this planet is locked in the orbital path it has taken for many thousands of centuries!!. But who knows what may take place!?! Asteroids & or meteors that are s0Oo big might disrupt things!?!

as far as i know gravity is still one of the mysteries of physics. there is a throery that the guage boson of gravity is the graviton but they are yet to detect this. they are emitted from space but i dont know where they originate. its very confusing.
