gravitons and you

[Chaigidel]

is it true that gravitons have a closed wave form unlike every other particle which has a wave sign? so to speak is a graviton an O opposed to a U, and is the existence of the graviton yet proven or only theoretical?

[ajm317]

Nobody knows. The graviton has not been observed, nor will it be in the near future (if it does in fact exist). This is because compared to the other forces gravity is extremely weak.

As for the closed string open string thing:

1. We don't know if there IS a graviton.
2. We don't know that string theory is correct.

If string theory IS correct, and there IS a graviton string theory DOES predict it would be a closed string, which leads to some unusual properties.

Long story short, nobody KNOWS anything about the graviton. Find it and you win yourself a Nobel prize!

[Chaigidel]

well I know several large scale projects are attempting to prove the higgz-boson and neutrino particles, but im unsure about the theoretical graviton

[chris_uk_83]

There are certainly projects that are currently looking for gravitational waves, which are linked to gravitons. But I don't know of any that are looking for gravitons themselves.
