If gravity is a particle... How come it can escape a black hole? 🤔

Thank you, finally somebody asks.
Also, other important question: What are the differential equations that describe how the Gravity Field propagates through space? In other words, at what speed does gravity propagate?
I'm relatively certain we've established that gravity travels at the speed of light
Only in a vacuum, in water it travels much more slowly. That's why you can float on water.
Archimedes is going to get really angry when he reads your comment
A WITCH!
Lol nope
It was a good attempt.
Isn't it the same speed electromagnetic fields propagate through space?
