Is it possible to stop the graviton? If it is then anti-gravity is possible.
No. This does not follow.Josiah said:So basically the gravitational force does not exist due to gravitons but something else?
Not that we know of.Josiah said:Would there be a way of stopping the force instead?
Stopping light is not the same as blocking the electromagnetic interaction either (you can't do the latter). What you can do is stop radiation with very specific frequencies.Josiah said:The theory of the graviton doesn’t include repulsive forces, but you don’t need repulsive forces, all you need is something to block it.
They are completely different things.Josiah said:There methods of stopping electromagnetic waves, so mightn’t there be a way of stopping gravitational waves?
Gravitation might not involve gravitons, we currently don't know.Josiah said:So basically the gravitational force does not exist due to gravitons but something else?
If I understand correctly, gravitons are really the placeholder for the thing that allows gravity to be quantized, and thus reconciled with the quantum mechanical model.DarMM said:Gravitation might not involve gravitons, we currently don't know.

The current (incomplete) theory governing gravity is General Relatively and in GR, gravity is NOT a "force", it is the geometry of space-time. I don't think you can stop geometry (but it's also true that the REASON GR is incomplete is that it doesn't work well at the quantum level, so that argument may not be valid)Josiah said:Would there be a way of stopping the force instead?
Not sure what that would look like, even in principle.phinds said:TI don't think you can stop geometry
That question amounts to asking "If the laws of physics did not work the way we understand them to work, what would those laws say about <insert nonsense of your choice>"Josiah said:Assuming that gravitons exist, and assuming it was possible and you had to come up with a way to stop them, how would you?
I don’t know much about physics, but I’m assuming the reason gravitons ( given they exist) are able to pass through matter because atoms consist of mostly empty space. What if there was a way to reduce the amount of empty space?
if you can cite a peer-reviewed paper on how that would be done, then we can discuss it. AGAIN, you can't just make stuff up. This is not a "what if" kind of forum. If you are going to keep throwing out wild speculation, this thread will get shut down.Josiah said:What if there was a way to neutralise the nucleus of an atom, what if you came up with an element that had 1 proton and 7 neutrons, the neutrons would act as a blockade and potentially reduce the effect of the positive charge of the proton.
A graviton is a hypothetical particle that is believed to be the carrier of the force of gravity in quantum mechanics. It has not yet been experimentally proven.
Currently, there is no scientific evidence or technology that allows us to manipulate or stop individual gravitons. However, there are theories and ongoing research on the potential manipulation of gravity itself.
The ability to stop a graviton would have significant implications for our understanding and control of gravity, which is one of the fundamental forces of the universe. It could potentially lead to advancements in space travel, communication, and energy production.
While it is currently not possible to completely eliminate the effects of gravity, there are theories and ongoing research on technologies such as anti-gravity that could potentially reduce or negate the effects of gravity on objects.
The ethical implications of stopping a graviton are currently unknown as the technology and ability to do so do not exist yet. However, as with any scientific advancement, there will likely be debates and discussions on the potential consequences and responsibilities that come with it.
