All atoms have gravitons in orbit around them. Gravitons have huge orbits & incredible velocities exceeding 10,000 times the speed of light. They are very tiny & create gravity by simply bumping into things. Multiply a tiny bump by billions & you have gravity.

What force creates and guides the sun's surface phenomena?

The force you are thinking of of is gravity. Well not so much the gravity but the gravitons in the gravity witch give it the force it has. Without gravitons it is actually a very weak force.


What is the material called that Star Trek used for a shield to protect their ship?

"Gravitons"


What is the earth gravitonal pull?

Actually the earth's gravity is caused by a particle that pushes called the graviton . All atoms have gravitons in orbit around them. Gravitons have huge orbits & when one of them bumps into something it applies a tiny push. Multiply this push by billions & you have gravity. Why can't we see gravitons ? They travel at 10,000 times (plus) the speed of light & as such, light wont reflect off of them. It is possible to deflect light (photon particles) with gravitons though. This was first discovered by Einstein when he observed the bending of light around heavenly bodies....Alfred Herman Schrader 2,010


Why gravity causes?

for the time being,possible answer is 'gravitons'. resides somewhere in the nuclei of atoms


Is there such things as gravitons?

They're predicted in Physics, but they've never been detected yet.


What are gravitons and how do they contribute to our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature?

Gravitons are hypothetical particles that are believed to mediate the force of gravity in quantum physics. They are thought to play a role in unifying the fundamental forces of nature, specifically by helping to reconcile the theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics. The existence of gravitons could provide a deeper understanding of how gravity interacts with the other fundamental forces, such as electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.


What is the size of a graviton?

Gravitons are theoretical particles that are believed to mediate the force of gravity in quantum mechanics. Since gravitons do not have a well-defined size in the classical sense like everyday objects, their size is described within the framework of quantum field theory, where they are considered point-like particles with zero size.


Does a body lose mass by radiating gravitons?

Tough question! See: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=3212 Easy question. Easy answer. Gravitons orbit atoms with incredibly huge paths. The gravitons that originate & orbit around the center of our Milky Way galaxy travel to the edge of our MW galaxy & back in a few seconds. But, gravitons don't "radiate" they orbit. The fundamental mass of anything is comprised of the nuclei or center of atoms. Electrons & gravitons are so much lighter as to be insignificant to the total mass. And gravitons remain in orbit & stay with the atoms at all times. Electrons come & go, but most remain as well. So, bodies wont lose mass in connection with gravitons (answer). What is interesting though, is that the mass of a body can change very slightly depending on its temperature. Protons & neutrons, the particles that make up the nucleus of an atom, are made of photon particles (light). If you heat, say a chunk of iron enough, it will glow. The glowing you see are photons blasting out of the protons & neutron's. As the iron cools, it will become lighter, but only by a very small amount in accord with this formula E = MC 2 This effect really gets interesting when you start dealing with refrigerants, but in the interest of time, will left for a later discussion...Alfred Herman Schrader 2,010


How could physicists find the graviton?

A space-borne observatory; consisting of spacecraft that fire lasers at each other and use interferometry to detect minute phase changes, with many millions of kilometres between each spacecraft; may be able to detect gravitational waves, which are coherent states of many gravitons. Detecting single gravitons is currently impossible because the interactions between gravitons and matter are so rare, that to sufficiently shield a detector against neutrinos, the shielding would collapse into a black hole.


Are Gravitons sub atomic particles?

Yes, Gravitons are hypothetical sub-atomic particles / gauge bosons. These bosons are predicted to behave similarly to photons, having zero rest mass and infinite range, their force is predominant over very large distances. Like all gauge bosons, these are the mediators of what we experience as "force".


What is all of the matter in the universe made of?
