Gravitons detected around black holes?

In summary, the article discusses the phenomenon of Gravity turbulence around Black Holes and its potential connection to the existence of gravitons. The high concentration of particles around Black Holes could lead to this turbulence, but the article does not directly mention gravitons as the cause. The author is seeking opinions on this possibility.

Could Gravitons be causing this Black Hole turbulence?

http://perimeterinstitute.ca/news/turbulent-black-holes

In the article above they talk about how the Gravity around Black holes is bumpy or has Gravity turbulence. Does this discovery give any evidence to the undiscovered Graviton? Because Black Holes have so much mass and warp space to such a degree, if the particles exist then around a black hole they should be more concentrated then anywhere else in the Universe. This high concentration would lead to Gravity turbulence when particles collide right?

The word graviton doesn't appear in this article. Why would you think that's what it was talking about?

I'm sorry if my title mislead you. I'm just trying to get the opinion of others about the possibility that gravitons are causing the turbulence.
 

Related to Gravitons detected around black holes?

1. What are gravitons?

Gravitons are hypothetical particles that are thought to be responsible for carrying the force of gravity. They are predicted by the theory of quantum mechanics, but have not yet been observed or detected.

2. How were gravitons detected around black holes?

The detection of gravitons around black holes has not yet been confirmed. However, scientists have indirectly observed the effects of gravitational waves, which are ripples in the fabric of space-time caused by the movement of massive objects such as black holes. These waves are believed to be caused by the emission of gravitons.

3. Why is the detection of gravitons around black holes important?

If gravitons are detected around black holes, it would provide evidence for the existence of these particles and confirm the predictions of quantum mechanics. It would also help us better understand the behavior of black holes and the nature of gravity.

4. How do gravitons affect the behavior of black holes?

Gravitons are believed to be responsible for the force of gravity, which is what causes black holes to have such strong gravitational pull. As gravitons are emitted from a black hole, they carry away energy and cause the black hole to lose mass over time.

5. What implications could the detection of gravitons around black holes have for future research?

If gravitons are detected around black holes, it would open up new avenues for research in the field of quantum mechanics and the study of gravity. It could also lead to advancements in our understanding of the universe and potentially even new technologies based on the principles of quantum mechanics.
