SUMMARY

Graviton-Graviton Scattering is a significant theoretical concept in Quantum Theory of Gravity, as discussed in the paper "Infrared behavior of graviton-graviton scattering" by John F. Donoghue and Tibor Torma. This phenomenon provides insights into the interactions of gravitons, which are hypothesized particles that mediate gravitational forces. Understanding graviton-graviton scattering is crucial for developing a comprehensive framework of quantum gravity and addressing unresolved issues in theoretical physics.

Hi Everyone,
:shy:
I read in some paper about the significance of Graviton-Graviton Scattering as a theoretical tool in Quantum Theory of Gravity. Would someone bother to explain in detail what phenomena it is and how it is useful in Quantum Theory of Gravity.:confused:

And I might not have put the question accurately, you see.

Thank You.

What paper is that?
 
Ah! The paper is just age old which I don't know, I just stumbled upon while searching about what graviton-graviton scattering is.
It might not have been important one, but here it is:

I repeat, I might not have accurately paraphrased.
