How do Gravitons work? as compared to photons - Physics Stack …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
How can the graviton be both massless and self-interacting?
May 2, 2023 · Gravitons and photons have zero rest mass, but what gravitons couple to, is energy and momentum, and gravitons and photons carry energy and momentum, so they do interact …
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 …
