Re: [Phys-L] GRAVITON was gravitational waves



The author was probably had in mind momentum, not the force. let us assume that this is true.

According to Wikipedia, < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton_(disambiguation), >

"A graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle that transmits the force of gravity."

How can this be made meaningful to students in an introductory physics course ?

Here’s an article that is somewhat duplicative of JD’s exposition:

And here’s a Q & A that appears (to me) to be accurate:
