Gravity is made of gravitons ?

In summary, the conversation is about the concept of gravitons and their relation to gravity and the construction of a field to polarize or avoid gravitons. The conversation also touches on the topic of the propagator of gravitons and their role in particle mass. There is also mention of the Higgs boson and its role in giving particles mass.

gravity is made of gravitons ??

the question is is gravity made of 'gravitons' i mean a particle adquire mass and gravity since it 'absorbs' a graviton.. and space time is Euclidean until it is surrounded by gravitons, then why could not construct a kind of field to polarize or avoid gravitons surrounding you ?.

Also what is the propagator of Graviton and its Green Function equation ??.. thanks.

A particle gains mass through gravitons? I think you are confused there.

A particle with mass "fell" gravity through gravitons, but a good question arise: What is the propagator for particles with spin-2? And why spin-2?? I'll search more about this...

Related to Gravity is made of gravitons ?

1. What are gravitons?

Gravitons are hypothetical particles that are thought to be responsible for the force of gravity. They are predicted by certain theories, such as string theory, but have not yet been observed or proven to exist.

2. How are gravitons related to gravity?

Gravitons are believed to be the carriers of the gravitational force, similar to how photons are the carriers of the electromagnetic force. They are thought to interact with other particles, causing them to attract to each other and creating the force of gravity.

3. Can gravitons be detected?

At this time, gravitons have not been detected or observed directly. This is because they are incredibly small and have very little energy, making them difficult to detect with current technology. However, scientists are constantly working on ways to potentially detect gravitons in the future.

4. Do all scientists agree that gravitons exist?

No, not all scientists agree on the existence of gravitons. While they are predicted by certain theories, there are other theories that do not include gravitons as part of their explanation for gravity. Additionally, since gravitons have not been observed, there is still debate among scientists about their existence.

5. How do gravitons fit into the Standard Model of particle physics?

The Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental particles and forces in the universe, does not currently include gravitons. This is because gravitons have not been observed and do not fit into the current understanding of the other forces in the model. However, some theories, such as string theory, attempt to incorporate gravitons into the Standard Model.
