What is GRAVITON?

Question

Is it conected with Einstein's relativity theory

Answer 1

NOPE cuvz he intrduced some sort of light n speed theory n it is like FALLING DOWN ( get it LOL)????

Answer 2

Its a particle that was concocted by Physics theory to explain gravity interaction of atomic particles.
There has been no experiment which has been able to Observe the Graviton.
But if it would exist ,it would be the glue that would glue all glueons.
Einstein Relativity theory involves many folds.The theory is based on Einsteins 2 postulates.
From that The special realitivity Theory explains relative motion of masse structures.
The General relativity Explain Gravity in terms of space field Curvature,based on "The Einstein field equation"
The graviton does not relate to space time distortion which is not a force.
Now whether space -time is quantifiable is what was an argument between Quantum Mechanics theory model which was a probabilistic one ,and the General relativity Model which is a deterministic one.
The two theories never were able to be reconciled.
Einstein was not able to Accept the cristicism based on the Heisengberg Uncertainty principle which had given rise to the probabilistic Model.Perhaps Einstein was right after all .He has been right about many things, Unfortunately he has been continuously misunderstood on his Relativity theories.

Answer 3

A graviton is an imaginary particle that was cooked up by quantum mechanics fans because they were tired of hearing the question "yeah, but ... what causes gravity"?

It was a pretty good trick, actually. Some people were even fooled into looking for gravitons. But so far the Force has not been with them. And yet they're not DOWN-hearted, because business is still picking UP.

Answer 4

The graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle that transmits the force of gravity in the framework of quantum field theory. If it exists, the graviton must be massless.

Gravitons are postulated because of the great success of the quantum field theory (not Einstein's relativity theory).

Answer 5

Graviton is the mediated or exchange particle of Gravitational force. It has no mass and it has charge 0e and with spin 2.
Gravity is the weakest force of all other forces.
We know gravity is the attractive force, and that keeps every object falling down.
But, compared to Electromagnetic force, Gravity is billions and billions times weaker force.
In String theory graviton is like a close loop of string oscillating in a very small scale.
But, other forces have two ends attached with membrane.
The gravitational loop of Graviton can easily fly out from our membrane that's why gravity is weaker force.
Whereas, all other forces and particles are strongly attached with membrane that's why they are stronger force.

Answer 6

The graviton is (in theory, since no one has ever actually observed one) the transfer boson involved with gravitational field interactions.

No, gravitons do not come from relativity. They come from quantum mechanics. Relativity describes gravity in terms of a curved space-time.

Answer 7

Gravitation is the force created on the objects by earth on it. All objects in this universe have a definite amount of gravitational force. Gravity depends on the mass of the object. For example, Jupiter has a greater gravitational force than tha earth. Our weight also varies from planet to planet due to this force. A person weighing 30Kg on the earth may just be 5Kg on the moon. I don't know if it is connected with the theory or not.

Answer 8

As you see, the graviton is an elusive bit of energy. First, we shall consider the origin of this energy.

This force is a wave. It moves at the speed of light. There are four concepts to consider in understanding its existence. c2 = E/m is the basis of its origin. This describes "c2" as being a product of energy and mass, and where one value changes so, also, does the value of c2. This value is part of the physics trilogy, and is the very basis for the existence of energy and mass. As the value of "E" in each of the other two equation is that of E = hf so, also, does the value of c2.

This lead us to the other part of the graviton. That of its relationship to energy itself. To find this, we need to look at the frequency trilogy of energy.

There is a single concept that applies to three seperate values. The concept is: E = hf, mk = hf, and c = hf. The "hf" value here is that of Planks constant (a small numerical value) times the frequency of a single electromagnetic wave. As the wave frequency increases in a given length so, also, does the energy of that wave.

The reason this value works for "mass kinetic" energy, is that mass is composed of electromagnetic energy. This comes about by the formation of electrons,and then multiples of these forming neutrons and protons. Because mass is made up of frequency, it has the value of E = hf and mk = hf.

The third part of the frequency trilogy is, c = hf. This is obvious because of the third part of the physics trilogy, c2 = E/m. In that it is energy being divided by mass, that very same energy is able to be described by E = hf. This value is very small. It may be that of the value of "h" by itself. If this is so, then the c = hf would read as c(g) (constant gravitation) = h. The reason for c(g) = h would be that the value of "c(g)" would be non-divisible, and would always remain the same value under all circumstances.

Does this form of energy relate to relativity? It appears this value "c(g) = h" is the basis of all mass and energy - what everything in our universe is composed of. To understand why this is true, read the writing "What is Time" http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc.

Answer 9

it's a quantum unity of gravity. It has applications in relativity, but should not affect the conversion of matter to energy.

Answer 10
