We are motivated by the possibilities presented by “topology changing transitions” and investigate the effects of gravity upon them. These offer a method of unifying the string landscape and so increasing the predictive possibilities of string theory. With the inclusion of gravity to the transition comes the possibility of black hole creation, this is a risk to the transition since the creation of black holes would mask the transition from the observer. Our simulation attempts to establish the extent of this risk and the outlook for transitions.
