    What kind of shower do you have that allows you to conduct observations in space? Not to mention write up a paper on it.

    1. We have no conclusive evidence to suggest that gravity is propagated by particles. Currently, we think that it very likely might be, but we have not come up with models to quantize gravity. U would win a Nobel prize if u did that.

    If gravity is a particle, and that’s a big “if”, then the inescapable attractive force of a black hole would be the result of that particle’s action, so what exactly would it be escaping? Itself?

    I thought the current thinking is that gravity is bending and differences of spacetime?

      Or maybe they do interact with each other and that’s how they escape: they’re forced out by interactions with all the other gravitrons in the black hole.

    Maybe gravitons aren’t affected by gravity, the same way photons aren’t affected by em interactions (which they carry).
