Although gravitons have yet to be sighted, they are believed to be the "particles" through which gravity acts, just as photons function for the electromagnetic force. Gravitons, like photons, would travel at the speed of light, so the effects of your instaneous black hole would take a while to reach us. Nathan Meyers hplabs!hp-pcd!nathanm
