Say that scientists had experimental data that proved that Gravitons exist... Would this make General Relativity wrong?
If it wouldn't make General Relativity wrong, how do the theory of Gravitons and General Relativity both... Cooperate?
:)) Thankss.|||"...how do the theory of Gravitons and General Relativity both... Cooperate?..."
Relativity has shown us that gravity is actually the warping of spacetime due to the presence of mass. We've yet to explain *how* mass does this, but the graviton could well be the mediating particle involved, like the photon mediates electromagnetism.|||The concepts are independent. The graviton has been proposed as a virtual particle mediating the gravitational force. But we don't know whether there is one, or whether there is a need for one. So far we have no quantum theory of gravity, and again, we don't even know if we need one.
