1.0 Does a particle known as a graviton exist?
The question we should ask is whether there is such a particle as a graviton in reality. Does the graviton
exist? Is there a sane mathematician on Earth that truly believes in the graviton?
If statistics are any indication, I would have to say no. Between 1974 and 2000 the prestigious Institut für
Physik of the University of Frankfurt, Germany, a leading investigator of gravity, has published a total of
696 papers, 59 of which discuss gluons, 24 the strong force, 16 photons, and 4 the weak force (Fig. 1). [1]
There isn’t a single technical paper that discusses Quantum gravitons or chronons (particles of time).
Nature and Science Journals have comparable records. Their combined archives for this period list a total
of 8 non-technical papers that mention the graviton only to say that it has not been found. Considering
the importance of the graviton to Quantum and to the potential it has of uniting QM and GR, it is absolutely
stunning to realize that nobody is busy writing formal papers about this strategic quantum particle.
The grand projects respectively known as LIGO and Gravity Probe B are attempting to detect gravity
waves, and these could be regarded as work geared to detect the graviton. However, if the relativists at
Stanford, Caltech and MIT were truly interested in doing scientific research they would have to start by
visualizing and conceptualizing. Before the engineer can run the experiment he must design it. They
could begin, for instance, by reconciling graviton particles with gravitational waves. What do they expect
to prove otherwise: that bent space = graviton wave-packets?
| What the...! Heeeeyyy! |
| Oh! Sorry buddy! I didn't see you down there. We're Quantum scientists, and we're looking for the graviton. Do you know where we could find it? |

So who is looking for the Quantum graviton?
No one! The reasons are obvious. There is no way to prove the existence of an object such as the
graviton is alleged to be. There is nothing to write about. The Quantum graviton is a physical impossibility,
a logical contradiction. The mathematicians will never be able to show in the lab how the target comes
closer to the shooter by throwing darts at it, more so if they assume in addition that these darts are zero-
dimensional point particles. Such an experiment fails in the design stage.
Some experts have arrived at similar conclusions. There simply are no such things as gravitons:
- “ gravitons are still speculative. It is also unlikely that individual gravitons will be
detected any time in the near future.” [3]
“ Are there really such things as gravitons? We do not know, but physicists believe
that because gravity is a force that shares many technical similarities to the other
three natural forces, it must also have a quantum particle that mediates it, and this
is called the graviton. It is very unlikely we will ever detect individual gravitons” [4]
Therefore, I have to conclude that the Quantum graviton is a nonentity invented by the mechanics to kill
the hours at the pub. The graviton proposed by Quantum Mechanics is another fantastic Emperor’s
Clothes tale! What the new generation of theorists has done is carry the graviton ball over to String
Theory (ST), a ‘fascinating’ new field of Mathematical Physics that attempts to merge GR with QM.
Where did the mathematicians get such ridiculous explanations as negative-momentum and time-
reversal, and what were the reasons behind this nonsense?

- 2.0 Origins of QM’s fantastic explanations for gravity
Le Sage can be credited with being the first to propose gravitons in a negative-momentum sense. His idea
is that bodies attract each other because the sea of particles that lie between them depletes.
“ any two material bodies partially shield each other from the impinging corpuscles,
resulting in a net imbalance in the pressure exerted by the impacting corpuscles
on the bodies, tending to drive the bodies together.” [5]
Think of this body of particles as an aether that permeates space and keeps physical objects apart. The
region depletes because the objects have already absorbed some of these ethereal particles in their
vicinity. This enables the particle on the other side of the objects to push the two objects together.
According to Le Sage, a house attracts you because you stand in its aether shadow, a particle umbra of
sorts. Particles from all over the Universe impinge on the house and on you, but the house shields you
from those particles that approach from its rear. Likewise, you protect the house from particles coming
from behind you. A ‘depletion’ region arises between you and the house in which there are fewer
particles. This region is too weak to stop the remaining particles in the universe from pushing you and the
house together (Fig. 2). In one enlightened enthusiast’s words:
- “ The force carrying intermediaries that get absorbed in the earth should produce
a directed shielding effect for other bodies in the vicinity.” [6]
A series of amusing Le Sage type mechanisms have been condensed in the book Pushing Gravity.
The mainstream Quantum folk treat Le Sage’s followers as idiots, and I can’t blame them. You have to be a
fool to concoct such a ridiculous theory for attraction. However, the mechanics have come up with the
Casimir Effect, the same mechanism in another context. This phenomenon consists of two metal plates in
close proximity. The mathematicians observe that the plates are mystically drawn together without any
apparent intervening forces:
- “ the space surrounding the plates contains more particles and energy than the
space between the plates. The more energy-dense space surrounding the plates
exerts a force on the metal, pushing the plates together.” [7]
“ Casimir realised that between two plates, only those virtual photons whose
wavelengths fit a whole number of times into the gap should be counted when
calculating the vacuum energy. The energy density decreases as the plates are
moved closer which implies there is a small force drawing them together.” [8]
“ the Casimir effect is a weak force exerted between separate objects, which is due
to neither charge, gravity, nor the exchange of particles, but instead is due to
resonance of all-pervasive energy fields in the intervening space between the
objects...
[You what? Einstein's idiots can't seem to tell you a simple theory in straight
forward language!]
… all of the various fundamental fields, such as the electromagnetic field, must be
quantized at each and every point in space...
[This means that, in the eyes of a mathematician, a field is made of particles.]
... In a naïve sense, a field in physics may be envisioned as if space were filled with
interconnected vibrating balls and springs, and the strength of the field can be
visualized as the displacement of a ball from its rest position.” [9]
[In other words, the ‘field’ region between the plates has less particles.]
Therefore, the Casimir Effect is a rerun of the Le Sage effect, and I must conclude that the explanation that
the mechanics offer for the Casimir Effect constitutes inexorable proof that not only Le Sage’s disciples
are idiots. And I believe that that’s as objective as I can make the statement.
Certainly, a more recent milestone for all this rubbish, as well as for negative mass, tachyons (FTL
particles), and poorly interacting neutrinos that plague the journals calling themselves scientific, is the
Feynman-Wheeler ‘absorber theory.’ [10] This theory holds that particles emit radiation not only in every
direction of space, but also in the ‘two directions of time.’
- “ During its accelerated motion a charged particle – a source of radiation - emits
electromagnetic waves. These waves, known as classic retarded waves, are
absorbed by another charged particle – absorber – that, in turn, produces both
retarded and advanced waves, the latter being characterized by negative energy.
Advanced waves move backward in time to the emitter (instantaneous effect)
and may act as a bearer of information. [11] [12]
The logic provided by Feynman and Wheeler is that if you circumscribe radiation to an opaque enclosure,
the ‘advanced’ energy will cancel out with the particles making up the walls of the enclosure, and the
‘retarded’ energy from the past will remain to cause havoc.
Feynman later recanted his retarded theory shortly after publishing, but, because information is a bit time-
delayed in the Quantum world, some people have yet to receive the news. One fellow who has not yet
been brought up to speed is John Cramer. He has made a career out of time-delay, peddling a ridiculous
theory he calls the ‘transactional interpretation’ of Quantum Mechanics. [13] [14] His theory requires that
particles in the present communicate with particles coming from the the future or from the past:
- “ The emitter, e.g., a vibrating electron or atom in an excited state, attempts to
radiate by producing a field. This field, according to the Wheeler-Feynman
description, is a time-symmetric combination of a retarded field which
propagates into the future and an advanced field which propagates into the
past.” [15]
I am not ‘cherry-picking’ my sources. Folks like Casimir and Cramer can calculate just about anything. It is
the stunning physical interpretations they offer and believe in that are jaw-dropping. You wonder how it is
possible for people who spent so many years at a university to believe in such nonsense. What a waste of
resources!
