If light can be observed both as a particle and as a wave, can also gravity?

Answer 1

Your question is flawed. Light cannot be seen as both a particle or wave. ONLY ONE OR THE OTHER. If you can see light, you cannot see the wave, if the wave is discerned through scientific methods, the light cannot be seen. This is called the "Wave/Particle Duality" and has been proven.

We do not yet have sensitive yet enough instruments to detect Gravity Waves, however we assume that they are there from the cause/effect that we can see and deduce. Or perhaps Gravitons are what we're looking for?

Answer 2

Yes, in theory, gravity can be considered both a particle and a wave. Theoretical physicists are beginning to toy with the idea that the force of gravity is held by small particles, called gravitrons, although they do tend to disagree on the subtleties of this theory (some claim that gravitrons can travel through the 5th dimension, explaining why the force of gravity in our universe is relatively weak).

Now for the wave part. Every object acts as a wave. Imagine throwing a baseball. Although the baseball is a solid object, made of matter, it acts as a wave when moving through space. Its amplitude is incredibly small, though; the larger an object, the more minute its variation. You too are a wave! :)

So, if gravity is in fact controlled by a particle (a gravitron), and if all particles and matter may be observed as waves, then you could claim that gravity may be observed as a wave.

Answer 3

While comparing light and gravity may be like comparing apples and rhinos, there is a small thread of connection - it just takes some tweaking.

Ok, photons, electrons, protons, mesons, etc. can all be viewed from the wave/particle duality standpoint. But how to fit in gravity. I agree that gravity itself cannot be viewed in this way, it's force carrier can. Just like the photon is the force boson for the electromagnetic force, the theoretical graviton is the force boson for the gravitational force. This boson will be able to be viewed as both a particle and a wave as it will be a physical entity.

Answer 4

If the question ultimately becomes whether the force of gravity is a product of mass and energy, then the answer is, yes. This, of course, would mean that a gravitational field could be reversed back into its point of origin, becoming something other than what it had become.

The concept is c2 = E/m. This is part of the physics trilogy. The other two parts, of course, being that for mass and energy. This concept shows that a gravitational field forms due to a particular relationship. Where there not a relationship forming this force, then this form of energy would have to be being created in all matter at all times. (You know how people of "science" supposedly detest the creation concept).

In that this force performs work, like keeping the planets about the sun, it is an energy form. A person is able to cube time as well as square it. I think a cube of time is equal to 2.2 lbs or 1 kg..

Answer 5

i think of the complementary nature of light or any electromagnetic radiation has been properly wide-unfold. Optical phenomena like Interference, Diffraction and Polarisation can purely be interpreted by way of the wave concept. on the different hand Photoelectric result or Compton result can purely be interpreted on the inspiration of the particle or photon concept. Einstein had prolonged Planck's hypothesis of capability quantisation to the photoelectric result by way of postulating that each and each quanta of light (specifically photon) has an capability proportional to the frequency of light and effectively derived the Planck's consistent from the photoelectric equation. A photon is emitted each and every time there's a transiton of an electron from a greater suitable capability point to a decrease enrgy point. The photon capability being equivalent to the adaptation between the two capability ranges. a number of your premises sound unusual certainly whilst there is sufficient experimental info with reference to the genuine nature of light. gentle is an electromagnetic wave in assessment to sound that's a mechanical disturbance. hence it would not require a actual medium at involved approximately propagation and travels continuously with an identical speed in vacuum.

Answer 6

Not usually, but perhaps in an irregular eliptical orbit. It's not the same type of thing. Gravity is a phenomenon, not an actual thing, or photon, as light is.

Answer 7

Light and gravity are two different things, my friend. Gravity is a force. Light is not.

Answer 8

Light is a physical presence. Gravity (as far as we know) is a physical force. It is like comparing apples to photons!

Answer 9

no
