How To Use graviton In A Sentence

• In physics, the "graviton" is a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravity in the framework of quantum field theory. American Chronicle
• Bounce a graviton particle beam, off the main deflector dish, Snow, and other things.
• By comparing the fundamental properties of these bosons, it is clear that photons and gravitons are different, although they do share some of the same properties.
• So imagine we have a certain kind of particle called a graviton -- that's the kind of debris we expect to be ejected out if the extra dimensions are real. Brian Greene on string theory
• Some, mostly string theorists, posit the existence of a massless particle they've dubbed the graviton and claim that it is responsible for mediating the force of gravity, a force that has unlimited range. Michael Zimmerman, Ph.D.: Gravity, Evolution and Religious Dogma
• But the gravitational field is a symmetric tensor rather than a vector, and this means the graviton is spin-two, rather than spin-one like the photon.
• Both represent the quantized field of a fundamental force: photons the electromagnetic field and gravitons the gravitational field.
• They claim some of these waves are gravitons, the quantum mechanical particles that mediate gravity.
• These waves are literally gravitons - the hypothetical particles that carry the gravitational force - that have been stretched to macroscopic lengths by the cosmic expansion.
• For this reason the putative quantum particle of a gravity wave, called the graviton, is said to have an intrinsic spin of two. A Dark, Misleading Force
