  1. Mathematically, what is a graviton? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Nov 29, 2021 · What is a graviton? Similarly how a photon is a particle you get after quantizing free electromagnetism, a gluon is a particle you get after quantizing linearized Yang-Mills; you …

  2. How do Gravitons work? as compared to photons

    Jan 18, 2022 · In the analogy between photons and gravitons, (real) photons make up electromagnetic waves such as light and radio waves; and (real) gravitons make up …

  3. quantum gravity - What is a graviton? - Physics Stack Exchange

    A graviton is a theorised particle (specifically a boson). It is said to be its own antiparticle. It has a special role in general relativity (being that the science is all about gravitation and the warping …

  4. 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 …

  5. The energy of a Graviton - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jul 26, 2023 · Each graviton will then carry about 10^-30 ergs, a very small amount. According to the Wikipedia gravitational wave article the sun earth system emits 200 watts of gravitational …

  6. homework and exercises - Graviton Scalar interaction - Feynman …

    Feb 25, 2021 · Usually there are a huge number of indices (6 for a 3 graviton vertex) with lots of integrations by parts to keep track of. Nevertheless, conceptually it should always be clear …

  7. Why are we searching for graviton? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Nov 4, 2020 · String theory is an example of a theory which has this behavior, but we don't know if it really describes nature or not (beyond the regimes where it reduces to other, previously …

  8. quantum gravity - What do gravitons do? - Physics Stack Exchange

    May 2, 2015 · You are basically asking how forces work in quantum field theory, because the graviton is the force carrier in a QFT description of gravity. Have a read through this article by …

  9. Why you need a graviton when you have the Higgs boson?

    Perhaps we still need to have a (spin 2) graviton, but if we do, even its quantum spin must be relative to the only invariant spin state, which is the zero spin state of Higgs. Otherwise, there …

  10. general relativity - Degrees of freedom of the graviton versus ...

    Is the mismatch between "independent" components of gravitational degrees of freedom (graviton components) one of the reasons why General Relativity can not be understood as a quantum …
