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 gravitational waves such as are …
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 get a …
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 of …
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 …
How do gravitons and curved space time work together?
Dec 19, 2013 · The two don't work together, they are competing descriptions of gravity. From a QM perspective gravity is mediated by the graviton. Picture gravitons encountering photons, imparting …
The energy of a Graviton - Physics Stack Exchange
Jul 26, 2023 · Maybe another stupid question, but what's the energy of a graviton? Is it $\\hbar \\omega$? Does it emit gravitons when an apple falls onto the ground, like photons be emitted when …
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 is no mechanism …
homework and exercises - Graviton Scalar interaction - Feynman rules ...
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, it should always be clear how to derive the …
Why is the spin of the graviton 2? - Physics Stack Exchange
Feb 23, 2021 · The main difference is that gravity is always attractive while electromagnetic force is not. A photon intermediating electromagnetic force has spin 1 while graviton should have spin 2. What is …
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 Matt Strassler. It …
