Bookmark or Share- Nature of gravity: gravitons, curvature of space-time or both?The rigorous soft graviton theorem was established by Gross and Jackiw in Phys. Rev. 166 (1968) 1287. As far as I remember, they consider a graviton scattering by a spin-0 particle, but the theorem is valid for any spin because of the reason I mention above. $\endgroup$ –
- How do Gravitons work? as compared to photons$\begingroup$ If you call it a fallacy, you are taking the idea to seriously. Exchanging photons isn't the same as throwing bricks either.
- gravity - Is the graviton hypothetical? - Physics Stack ExchangeGravitons are the particles you get from quantizing General Relativity. Since we don't know yet how to correctly quantize GR (or whether trying to quantize it is actually the right way to go forward; for all we know it might just be an effective theory where the more fundamental theory has to be quantized instead), we cannot know for sure whether the ultimately successful theory of quantum ...
- Why you need a graviton when you have the Higgs boson?The graviton mediates gravity, while the Higgs doesn't. The Higgs force is short ranged. The classical graviton is arguably observed already, in the friction of pulsating binaries which matches the prediction of GR for decay due to gravitational waves.
- Why is the spin of the graviton 2? - Physics Stack ExchangeA photon intermediating electromagnetic force has spin 1 while graviton should have spin 2. What is a reason for different spin values of photon and graviton? general-relativity
