A graviton is supposedly massless and has spin 2.
But these characteristics of the graviton come from quantum mechanics
in which it is assumed that the graviton does not interact with other
force carrying particles.Is it possible that a graviton has a colour
charge for example, and interacts with gluons - a graviton is expected
to have very little energy and it would not interfere noticeably with
the mathematics of
quantum chromodynamics theory, but would the colour force have a
significant effect on gravity? Could the force of gravity be so weak
compared to the other
field forces because gluons take energy from gravitons? Because dark
energy accounts for most of the mass of the universe this would mean
that the colour
force would have to be associated with dark energy.Is this a
ridiculous idea or something that is reasonably possible?

There is currently no scientific evidence to suggest that a graviton has a color charge and interacts with gluons. The theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) describes the interactions between quarks and gluons, which are the fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons. However, gravity is described by the theory of general relativity, which is a classical theory and does not take into account the quantum nature of particles.

While it is always important to explore new ideas and theories, it is also important to base them on scientific evidence and established theories. Currently, there is no evidence to support the idea that the force of gravity is weak because gluons take energy from gravitons. Dark energy is a separate concept that is thought to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe, but its exact nature is still not fully understood.

In summary, the idea that a graviton has a color charge and interacts with gluons is not supported by current scientific evidence. While it is an interesting concept to explore, it is not a reasonable possibility at this time. It is important to continue studying and researching in order to further our understanding of the universe and its fundamental forces.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
