What effect do gravitons have on electrons?

Hi,
what effect do gravitons have on electrons. I know with photons the electrons absorb the photons and leave the atom. Would gravitons have the same effect?

We are not sure whether there exsits particle like graviton.

Hi,

As mentioned above, the graviton is a hypothetical particle in some prospective theories of quantum gravity. Until there is an established theory of quantum gravity, the gravitational interaction between electrons (or any elementary particles) is not understood.

Contrary to what people told you above, this is a well posed question in theoretical physics. It is well understood how electrons interact with gravitons in theory. So yes, in theory, an electron can absorb the graviton very much like it can absorb the photon.

It is well understood how electrons interact with gravitons in theory.

More precisely, in the quantum field theory of a massless spin-2 field interacting with matter. In theoretical terms, yes, this theory is well understood. But we don't know whether it is actually realized in our universe, since we have no way of testing it now or in the foreseeable future because of the weakness of gravity as an interaction.
