Can Photons Emit Gravitons in the Absence of Black Holes?

In summary, black holes are thought to be areas of space with intense gravitational pull, from which even light cannot escape. This pull is believed to be due to the exchange of graviton particles. However, because of the distortion of time near a black hole, it is possible for outside observers to experience gravitons from the body before it fully becomes a black hole.

They say that light cannot escape gravitational pull of black holes, and also that gravitation is due to exchange of graviton particles, how can thy photons give out thy graviton, black holes don't exist

Your comment got garbled at the end. You seem to be concerned that gravitons can't escape from black holes. However, black hole formation greatly distorts time, so that to an outsdie observer it never actually forms. As a result the gravitons the outside observer experiences are from the body becoming a black hole.
 

Related to Can Photons Emit Gravitons in the Absence of Black Holes?

1. What is the concept of "No Black Holes no Graviton"?

The concept of "No Black Holes no Graviton" is a theory that suggests that black holes do not exist and therefore, the corresponding gravitational particles called gravitons do not exist either. This theory goes against the widely accepted theory of general relativity proposed by Albert Einstein.

2. How does the absence of black holes affect our understanding of gravity?

If the theory of "No Black Holes no Graviton" is proven to be true, it would mean that our current understanding of gravity is incomplete. Black holes are an important part of the theory of general relativity and if they do not exist, it would require a new explanation for the phenomenon of gravity.

3. What evidence supports the theory of "No Black Holes no Graviton"?

So far, there is no concrete evidence that supports the theory of "No Black Holes no Graviton". However, some scientists argue that the observed effects of gravity can be explained without the need for black holes or gravitons. They also point out that the existence of black holes and gravitons has not been confirmed through direct observation.

4. What are the potential implications of the theory of "No Black Holes no Graviton"?

If this theory is proven to be true, it would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe and the laws of physics. It may require a complete overhaul of our current theories and models, leading to new discoveries and advancements in the field of physics.

5. How is the scientific community responding to the theory of "No Black Holes no Graviton"?

The theory of "No Black Holes no Graviton" is a controversial topic in the scientific community. While some scientists are open to the idea and are conducting research to test its validity, others strongly reject it and argue that it goes against well-established principles of physics. Ultimately, more evidence and research are needed to fully understand the implications of this theory.
