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 ).
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
