StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

People are doing some work, man.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

People, man.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

People are doing some thinking.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

Man, so I can answer 80% of that question.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

All right.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

It's an assumption that gravitation, as a force in the universe, has a force-carrying particle.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

Right.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

And the assumption is that if you represented classical gravity, even Einsteinian gravity, with quantum physics, it would have to have a particle.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

A particle.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

So we even named this hypothetical particle.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

Okay.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

The graviton.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

The graviton.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

Right.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

Exactly.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

So the hunt for the graviton is on.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

Right.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

All right.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

And so the effect of the graviton and mass and energy is to curve the fabric of space and time.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Total Darkness

Forcing you to move in certain ways that would not otherwise be the case if that were not occupying that space.
