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?

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 ).

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
