- These massive gravitons can make up dark matter.
- There's photons, there's gravitons, there are Higgs bosons, there are gluons.
- So gravitons are the particle aspect of gravitational waves.
- This is why there were lots of other predictions for the LHC, like gravitons and extra dimensions and black holes.
- So when you say the graviton is it, would it be like the other particles force carriers or some ways yes, but in other ways, no.
- What can you explain these soft gravitons and photons?
- According to Einstein theory of general activity, the graviton is a mass less particle like the photon.
Examples
-
But if most of the gravitons are floating around in the bulk, then there are not many of them in the membrane that is our universe.

No one knows whether a graviton has mass.

Etymology
The word graviton comes from gravity, which traces back to Latin gravis meaning 'heavy', plus the particle ending -on, as in electron and proton. So a graviton is named as the imagined tiny particle that 'carries' the force of gravity.
