If gravitons are particles that carry force of gravitation, why don’t they get swallowed by the gravitational pull of black holes before the universe sense gravity?

To Michael
if light can not escape black holes then gravitons should not, becuz these particles are the same as photons or particles of light, both have zero rest mass, zero charge ,and they travel with the speed of light with energy so they both have momentum

There is no quantum theory of gravity at present - its a hole in modern physics.

However, you do need to be careful about virtual particles in general. They arise in calculations because of the techniques used to arrive at answers - specifically a technique called perturbation theory - and do not necessarily have any real existence. They also do not obey all of the normal laws of physics - specifically, they always violate the normal kinetic energy to velocity relationship.

tell me more about this new theory of gravity and these particles called gravitons. do they have a rest mass? do they possess momentum? are they made up of other kinds of particles? do they possess a charge? when I studied physics, the way that gravity behaved was well understood but the mechanism that made it happen was not.

Because, they might actually be wavelike. And repel. While attracting objects towards the blackhole. Or they may be be rippling in to the black hole. Like from the outside of the black hole, flowing into the black hole. >>>.<<<

i don't know about all that jive but i do owe a debt to black holes with regard to my personal diet ...would you like to know what that is?
