### Can gravitational waves escape from inside of black holes? [duplicate]

I understand that light cannot escape from inside of an event horizon because the spacetime curvature is too warped for photons to escape. On the other hand, gravitational waves are ripples of ...

### Are gravitons bound by the event horizon? [duplicate]

I understand that photons, even when traveling at the speed of light, cannot escape the event horizon of a black hole. Are gravitons and other virtual particles traveling at the speed of light also ...

### Speed of light versus pull of gravity - Is $c$ really the limit? [duplicate]

The understanding I have is that the speed of light is considered to be the highest attainable speed in physics. Of course there are theories of tachyons but since those haven't been proven we'll ...

### Can gravitons travel faster than the speed of light? [duplicate]

It is common knowledge that not even light can escape black holes, but since the black hole is emitting gravitons, and the gravitons travel in the direction away from the black hole, and it is ...

### A question about gravity [duplicate]

Some time ago I encouraged by 11 year old son to watch Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and subsequently Cosmos: A personal Voyage with Carl Sagan, as well as other astronomy ...

### If gravitational radiation (or anything) cannot escape a black hole, how can it produce redshift or curve spacetime? [duplicate]

There is an apparent paradox in a Black hole. Keenan Pepper wrote: Electromagnetic radiation cannot escape a black hole, because it travels at the speed of light. Similarly, gravitational radiation ...

### Graviton in black hole [duplicate]

I have read in a book and on the internet that the graviton is the particle which causes gravity, and not even light can escape gravity. Suppose our Sun has turned into a black hole. The black hole ...

### Is there any proof that the speed of gravity is limited? [duplicate]

I must warn that though I'm argumenting with black holes I'm not asking how does gravity escape the black hole!. I want to know if the absolute speed of gravity waves were proven bu an experiment. We ...

### How come no information can travel faster than light when we can measure a black hole's mass? [duplicate]

So I learned about the Schwartzchild radius, which is the radius of an object's event horizon. But how we define an event horizon is that it's a region of space where the gravitational acceleration ...
