What is the difference between gravitons and gravitational waves? So as I understand, gravitational waves are predicted by and part of the theory of general relativity, whereas gravitons are predicted …

Gravity is a fundamental force between masses, but gravitational waves are just a secondary effect related to the dynamics of a gravitational system in certain circumstances. Whether gravity is …

Jan 28, 2024 · I'm confused about the relationship of electromagnetism and gravity, or are they even related? It has been said the electromagnetic field produces a gravitational field, and so, there is no …

Sep 27, 2015 · In the first two posts in this series, we looked at different ways of interpreting the question “does gravity gravitate?” We left off at the end of the last post with an open question: what …

Mar 29, 2019 · What is the wavelength of gravitational waves? I have looked for an answer but so far not identified one.

Feb 12, 2016 · Do gravitational waves travel faster than light? No, gravitational waves also travel at the speed of light in vacuum. However, the interstellar medium is not perfectly empty but filled with …

Apr 8, 2022 · Gravitational waves obey the Einstein Field Equations and electromagnetic waves obey Maxwell’s Equations. That is the "in a nutshell" difference. If you change your mind and decide that …

Apr 28, 2023 · The discussion centers on the relationship between gravitational waves and Planck's constant. While gravitational waves are analyzed through general relativity, which does not …

Jun 6, 2021 · If you were to think of this situation in terms of quantum gravity, where the gravitational wave is a wave of gravitons, then if gravity does bend gravity, then gravity would be a self-interacting …

Dec 12, 2023 · @Nat The focus of the debate at the time was whether gravitational waves could carry energy, fueled by the obvious observation that gravitational waves are solutions to the vacuum …
