| Torillian said: I do wonder about what causes gravity. Most of what we know is just that it definitely exists and the trends with which it increases and decreases dependent on mass and distance between the objects. But I wonder why it occurs in the first place, or if it is one of those simplest of laws that we'll never be able to find a reason for, it just is. I've heard a little bit about Gravitons which are supposedly packets of gravity that in some way are the reason the force exists, but I haven't really looked into it at all. |
Gravitons are a hypothetical elementary particle in the boson family I believe. They are not proven but experimental observations are being conducted, they are looking to analyse gravity waves or something. Also it could lead to telling us the speed of gravity and if it is slower than the speed of light then that means gravity could have mass, which is very interesting. Don't quote me on that though lol
