The aim of /v/Physics is to build a subverse frequented by physicists, scientists, and those with a passion for physics. Papers from physics journals (free or otherwise) are encouraged. Posts should be pertinent, meme-free, and generate a discussion about physics. Please report trolls and intentionally misleading comments.
At this early stage /v/physics is open to any physics related question or comment. Including physics homework problems, physics GRE problems or questions, or questions about jobs in physics.

The other fundamental forces have observed exchange particles for the transfer of information. Gravity does not have an observed transfer particle or graviton. If it exists the graviton would cover infinite distances, which seems to violate or be the inverse of the r-square law.
However, the D-Wave quantum computers indicate possible information transfer with alternate universes. If that is indeed the case, then it is possible that gravitons don't exist in this universe at all.
The other component of gravity is time dilation due to acceleration around large mass.
It is possible our entire universe is on the inside surface of an ultra massive black hole and the blackhole's event horizon which is constantly and everywhere behind us is itself the graviton field.
