a logical shot...

Hey, here's a chance to shoot me down by giving me an endless list of reasons why this is the dummest idea of all time!

Could netrinos actually be the missing graviton particles?
In my nieve mind they qualify in most respects..
1. hardly interact with matter at all.
2. Vast quantitys of sun's netrinos are spose to flow through the Earth and throughout the rest of the solar system.

Only drawback is that current theory reckons non nuclear-active bodys don`t produce enough of them.

So how loose is current theory on cold-body netrino production? 100% certain no way?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
why are gravitons by definition spin 2??

(don't bother to answer if you can't do it
in a few lines, I'm just curious...)

thanks.

What do you mean, "missing" gravitons, anyway?
as far as I know, no-one has been able to detect them. Give us a link that prooves beyond reasonble doubt otherwise ( not just some optimistic speculation on some new result ).
 
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
