Mass Warping Spacetime: QFT & Gravitons Explained

Is it something like that involves gravitons? Like mass producing gravitons that warp spacetime? All is it something like qft whereby spacetime is just a field and only those with mass can interact with it, resulting in warped in spacetime which is equivalent to excitation of fields in quantum field theory (qftt)?

Forgive me for such question as I am not smart at all.

We don't have a theory with which to answer this question. That is one of the major directions of theoretical physics right now.

And what do you mean by that one? Is it the graviton? Or qft?
 
I mean we don't know yet. We don't have a theoretical framework that seems right, we don't have the computational tools to make experimental predictions on the theoretical frameworks that we do have, and we don't have experimental data in the appropriate regime to compare those computations against. Your question simply doesn't have an answer right now and will require decades or more of development of theory, computation, and experiment. It is a good question and an active area of research.

Wouldn't the graviton be the QFT way to approach the gravitational interaction :rolleyes:?
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
