Do force carriers follow the curvature of spacetime, or do they travel in perfectly straight lines?
With black holes, gravity of course exists, so I'm thinking the force carriers (at least gravitons) don't follow spacetime curvature, since they would never escape the event horizon.
Sounds like one of the paradoxes of relativity vs. quantum mechanics.
I tried to find a paper on this at arxiv and google scholar, but there don't seem to be any.
Thanks,
Jake
