Gravitons detected around black holes?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the hypothesis that gravitons may be responsible for the observed gravitational turbulence around black holes. The article from the Perimeter Institute highlights the concept of gravity turbulence in the vicinity of black holes, suggesting that if gravitons exist, their concentration would be highest in these regions due to the immense mass of black holes. Participants debate the implications of this phenomenon and the lack of direct mention of gravitons in the article, while exploring the potential connection between gravity turbulence and the existence of these theoretical particles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity and its implications on gravity.
  • Familiarity with quantum field theory and the concept of force carrier particles.
  • Knowledge of black hole physics and their gravitational effects.
  • Basic comprehension of particle physics and the significance of hypothetical particles like gravitons.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of gravitons in quantum gravity theories.
  • Explore the concept of gravity turbulence and its implications in astrophysics.
  • Study the latest findings in black hole physics and their gravitational effects.
  • Investigate the relationship between mass concentration and gravitational wave emissions.
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and researchers interested in theoretical physics, particularly those studying black holes and quantum gravity.

Could Gravitons be causing this Black Hole turbulence?

http://perimeterinstitute.ca/news/turbulent-black-holes

In the article above they talk about how the Gravity around Black holes is bumpy or has Gravity turbulence. Does this discovery give any evidence to the undiscovered Graviton? Because Black Holes have so much mass and warp space to such a degree, if the particles exist then around a black hole they should be more concentrated then anywhere else in the Universe. This high concentration would lead to Gravity turbulence when particles collide right?

The word graviton doesn't appear in this article. Why would you think that's what it was talking about?
 
I'm sorry if my title mislead you. I'm just trying to get the opinion of others about the possibility that gravitons are causing the turbulence.
