  1. 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 …

  2. 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 …

  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. 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, …

  6. 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 …

  7. 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 …

  8. 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 …

  9. 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, it should always be clear how to derive the …

  10. 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 …
