Naty1 said:Gravity is unique with regard to self interaction
meni ohana said:well then, in dynamic gravitational field, are there
zones of extreme gravity and zones of none or at least very low gravity. and balls of billions of gravitones will wander in space attracting whatever in their path back to the object they left. is that true?
Naty1 said:I've read, and don't quote these figures, they are for illustration only: that whereas perhaps a 100 watt light bulb would give off trillions upon trilions of photons per second, a typical atomic particle might exchange one gravition...and that over a period substantially longer than the life of the universe to date...
Vanadium 50 said:No, it's not.
Well, whatever you are reading is wrong - or at least grossly oversimplified. It's not even comparing the right things - real photons from a light bulb are not analogous to virtual gravitons from a static field.

Gravity is unique with regard to self interaction
No it's not. Gluons do too
This is a commonly asked question in the field of physics and the answer is currently unknown. Gravitons are theoretical particles that are believed to mediate the force of gravity, but their existence has not been proven yet. Therefore, it is not possible to determine if one graviton can pull another graviton.
Gravitons are a proposed component of the Standard Model of particle physics, which attempts to explain the fundamental particles and forces in the universe. They are thought to be the carriers of the gravitational force, similar to how photons are the carriers of the electromagnetic force. However, the concept of gravitons is still being studied and researched, and their role in our understanding of gravity is still not fully understood.
Since gravitons are believed to be the particles that make up the force of gravity, it is not possible for them to be affected by gravity. In other words, gravitons are not influenced by the force that they themselves mediate. However, this is still a topic of debate and further research is needed to fully understand the behavior of gravitons.
According to the Standard Model, gravitons are able to interact with other particles through the force of gravity. However, since gravitons are still a theoretical concept, their interactions with other particles are still being studied and researched.
Currently, there is no experimental evidence for the existence of gravitons. However, there are ongoing experiments and research efforts, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), that are attempting to detect the presence of gravitons. If successful, these experiments could provide evidence for the existence of gravitons and help us better understand the force of gravity.
