As the title suggests, I'm wondering if gravitons feel the pull of other gravitons. And secondly, if a singularity emits gravitons, how do the gravitons get out of the event horizon to pull in other matter?

Gravitons are carriers of the gravitational force and they interact with each other through the exchange of virtual gravitons. This exchange creates a force between two objects with mass, causing them to attract each other.
According to the current understanding of physics, gravitons are believed to be massless particles. This means that they do not have any physical mass, but they still have energy and momentum.
Gravitons have not yet been directly detected, but their existence is predicted by the theory of quantum mechanics. Scientists are currently working on experiments to indirectly observe the effects of gravitons.
Gravitons are thought to be responsible for the curvature of spacetime, as described by Einstein's theory of general relativity. The exchange of gravitons between objects with mass creates a gravitational field, which in turn causes the curvature of spacetime.
Gravitons are believed to only have attractive forces, meaning that they can only cause objects to attract each other. However, this is still a topic of debate among scientists and further research is needed to fully understand the behavior of gravitons.
