Spacetime (SR) has been well verified experimentally, but even classical gravity waves are below the threshold of detection, let alone gravitons.
jaketodd said:So the graviton is thought to warp space and time just like the warping of spacetime?
Yes, spacetime has been proven to exist through various experiments and observations, such as the bending of light by massive objects and the effects of time dilation.
Spacetime is a mathematical model that combines the three dimensions of space with the dimension of time. It is the fabric of the universe in which all matter and energy exist.
The graviton is a theoretical particle that is thought to be the carrier of the force of gravity in the framework of quantum mechanics. It is believed to play a key role in the interaction between matter and spacetime.
No, the existence of the graviton has not been proven. It is still a purely theoretical concept and has not been observed or detected experimentally.
Yes, the concept of spacetime is still very relevant in modern physics. It is a fundamental part of many theories, including general relativity and quantum mechanics, and is crucial in our understanding of the universe.
