Gravitons ?

Do gravitons have both frequency and wavelength?  Bill

Re: Gravitons ?

First of all, check your definition of gravitons. They are hypothetical particles which have no mass and carry the force of gravity. So they coul dbe various energies - but don't have a 'wavelength' associated with them. If we discovered gravitons then we would be close to be getting a theory of everything, and in a particle accelerator you would need a massive accelerator to create one - much more energy would be needed than all the acelerators combined would give. Despite this, various other experiments have been or will be set up in the near future, to try and detect gravitons.

Re: Gravitons ?

If and when gravitons are demonstrated to exist is it likely that they will be shown to produce gravity by interaction with other particles over very small distances?  "Sub-atomic" distances, that is.  Could it then be shown that gravity exists only in those spaces pervaded or filled with particles exchanging gravitons?  Newton's law could be considered, if the above were true to be a very useful description of the agregate effect of very large numbers of particles exchanging gravitons.  Bill
