  2. Graviton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton

    In theories of quantum gravity, the graviton is the hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitational interaction. There is no complete quantum field theory of gravitons due to an outstanding mathematical problem with renormalization in general relativity .

  3. List of particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles

    The graviton is a hypothetical particle that has been included in some extensions to the Standard Model to mediate the gravitational force. It is in a peculiar category between known and hypothetical particles: As an unobserved particle that is not predicted by, nor required for the Standard Model , it belongs in the table of hypothetical ...

  4. Elementary particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particle

    The graviton is a hypothetical elementary spin-2 particle proposed to mediate gravitation. While it remains undiscovered due to the difficulty inherent in its detection , it is sometimes included in tables of elementary particles. [ 1 ]

  5. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    Newton's law of universal gravitation describes gravity as a force by stating that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers of mass.

  6. Gravitational wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave

    In the framework of quantum field theory, the graviton is the name given to a hypothetical elementary particle speculated to be the force carrier that mediates gravity. However the graviton is not yet proven to exist, and no scientific model yet exists that successfully reconciles general relativity , which describes gravity, and the Standard ...

  7. Fundamental interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

    Some attempts at GUTs hypothesize "shadow" particles, such that every known matter particle associates with an undiscovered force particle, and vice versa, altogether supersymmetry (SUSY). Other theorists seek to quantize the gravitational field by the modelling behaviour of its hypothetical force carrier, the graviton and achieve quantum ...

  8. Gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity

    In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight' [1]) is a fundamental interaction primarily observed as a mutual attraction between all things that have mass.Gravity is, by far, the weakest of the four fundamental interactions, approximately 10 38 times weaker than the strong interaction, 10 36 times weaker than the electromagnetic force, and 10 29 times weaker than the weak interaction.

  9. List of hypothetical particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hypothetical_particles

    Strangelet, hypothetical particle that could form matter consisting of strange quarks. R-hadron, bound particle of a quark and a supersymmetric particle. T meson, hypothetical mesons composed of a top quark and one additional subatomic particle. Examples include the theta meson, formed by a top and an anti-top.
