SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of graviton generators and their potential applications in the sci-fi series The Interscission Project, specifically for artificial gravity and space/time travel. Participants speculate on the design of a graviton antenna or emitter, suggesting that a simple dipole antenna could serve this purpose, analogous to sound membranes and light flashlights. However, the practicality of detecting individual gravitons is questioned, leading to the conclusion that while theoretical designs exist, actual construction remains unfeasible. The conversation also touches on the alternative of producing Higgs Bosons instead of relying on hypothetical gravitons.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graviton theory and its implications in physics

In sci-fi series The Interscission Project, spacecraft use graviton generators, both for artificial gravity and for space/time travel.
If these gens extend the gravity field, what would the simplest graviton antennae/emitter look like? By analogy with a membrane making sound, a flashlight producing a beam of light and shortwave antennae sending out radio transmissions?

I'd guess the simplest - noting that gravitons are hypothetical particles so take this with a grain of salt - would be a short dipole antenna.

However, and I'm not an expert at all, I've read that it is not practical to detect individual gravitons, so it may be that a graviton antenna is theoretical possible but not something we can build.
 
why bother with unknown-to-exist "gravitons" ? Just magically produce Higgs Bosons.
