Entanglement and information seem to be the new buzz words in the particle
camp, two theories that seem natural to me, but should include QG to make
a workable quantum universe.
If particles carry information by spin ,and exchange information by entanglement
how would gravity communicate?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I believe the same way.
Like a photon is the force particle (messenger particle) for the electromagnetic field, a graviton is the same for gravity field.

I don't believe information is traded-off in entanglement, that would be nasty if so. Faster than speed of light traveling through the vacuum stuff.

I'm usually wrong tho.
 


It is true that entanglement and information have become increasingly important concepts in the field of particle physics. However, it is also important to consider the role of quantum gravity in understanding the full picture of the quantum universe. While entanglement and information may explain certain phenomena at the particle level, they alone may not be sufficient to fully explain the behavior of gravity.

One proposed theory is that gravity may also be carried by particles known as gravitons, which would interact with other particles through a force similar to the strong and weak nuclear forces. This would provide a way for gravity to communicate between particles, similar to how particles exchange information through entanglement.

In order to fully understand and describe the workings of the quantum universe, it is essential to incorporate the principles of both entanglement and information with the study of quantum gravity. Only then can we have a comprehensive understanding of how particles interact and communicate with each other in the quantum realm.
 
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
