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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
If gravity is a pseudoforce in general relativity, then why is a ...
Dec 23, 2018 · 2) A graviton is necessary since we believe graviton excitations, maybe Wheeler's space-time foam in some form or alike, must dominate the description of very dense objects …
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 …
How do gravitons and photons interact? - Physics Stack Exchange
May 5, 2020 · @frederik. There are couple points here. First: Classically, since gravitons carry no charge, they do not interact electromagnetically. But, as Dvij points out above, at the quantum level …
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 …
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 …
Is there a possibility for discovery of anti-graviton, i.e. the ...
Aug 12, 2016 · A graviton is postulated to be chargeless particle state. Moreover, it doesn't have any other quantum numbers (aside from spin) that would need to be conserved. Therefore, a quantum …
