The Graviton

[Jim Beam]

if common theory states that gravity exists due to a warping of space-time, then that really doesn't leave any room for the graviton, right? or wrong?

[Nenad]

right. The graviton explains gravity as an interaction between particles, and it is a quantum mechanics explination. The warping of space time has no graviton, it explains gravity by the effect of its name.

I had heard that if the GR model of warped spacetime holds true, then the graviton will be the name given to the smallest amount of warp possible; the fundemental "quanta" of gravity.

[Nenad]

that sounds like something that Einstein would hate.

Where'd you hear that? I don't think it's right. It is a wrong idea of a quantum.
