In summary, the sci-fi series The Interscission Project features spacecraft that use graviton generators for artificial gravity and space/time travel. The simplest graviton antenna would likely be a short dipole antenna, but it may not be practical to detect individual gravitons. Some suggest using Higgs Bosons instead.

In sci-fi series The Interscission Project, spacecraft use graviton generators, both for artificial gravity and for space/time travel.
If these gens extend the gravity field, what would the simplest graviton antennae/emitter look like? By analogy with a membrane making sound, a flashlight producing a beam of light and shortwave antennae sending out radio transmissions?

I'd guess the simplest - noting that gravitons are hypothetical particles so take this with a grain of salt - would be a short dipole antenna.

However, and I'm not an expert at all, I've read that it is not practical to detect individual gravitons, so it may be that a graviton antenna is theoretical possible but not something we can build.

why bother with unknown-to-exist "gravitons" ? Just magically produce Higgs Bosons.
 

1. What is a graviton generator?

A graviton generator is a hypothetical device that is believed to be capable of creating or manipulating gravitons, which are theoretical particles that are thought to be responsible for the force of gravity.

2. How does a graviton emitter work?

A graviton emitter is a device that is believed to emit gravitons in a controlled manner. The exact mechanism of how it works is still unknown, as gravitons have not been directly observed. However, it is theorized that the emitter would use advanced technology to manipulate the energy of the vacuum and create gravitons.

3. Can a graviton generator create artificial gravity?

There is currently no scientific evidence to suggest that a graviton generator can create artificial gravity. The concept of artificial gravity is still largely theoretical and would require a much deeper understanding of gravitons and gravity itself.

4. What is the difference between a graviton generator and a graviton antennae?

A graviton generator is a device that is believed to create or manipulate gravitons, while a graviton antennae is a device that is believed to receive or detect gravitons. They have different functions, but both are based on the concept of manipulating or interacting with gravitons.

5. Are graviton generators real?

Currently, graviton generators are purely hypothetical and have not been proven to exist. There is ongoing research and experimentation in this area, but there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that graviton generators are real at this time.
