If the space time continuum is composed of the infinitly small then gravity is a continuum and there are no gravitons.

Gravitons, the hypothesized fundamental particles of the gravitational interaction, have never been experimentally observed.  However, there is much anticipation that new particles will be seen at the energy ranges that the new supercollider (coming online in a matter of months) at CERN will explore.  Perhaps we'll see the Higgs boson and the elusive graviton there.

Well, gravity is  psuedoforce, so it may not actually require a mediator. In terms so far, we have successfully demonsrated that measurements can be made strictly on curvature around the presence of matter. The search for a graviton is still ongoing, which has been mentioned.
