skykilo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The Higgs boson is part of the Standard Model^{TM} and we hope to observe it soon. Â The Higgs gives paricles their masses. Â The graviton interacts with massive particles. It's gravity's equivalent to the photon in electrodynamics. But the photon is part of the Standard Model^{TM} Lagrangian, whereas there is no simple Lagrangian that includes the graviton. Â There is no quantum theory of gravity, yet. String theory might provide a quantum theory of gravity some day. Â In short, the Higgs generates masses (causes things to have mass), whereas the graviton mediates interactions between massive objects.

G-spotter Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 So I have mass because I interact with Higgs bosons, and therefore I emit gravitons. I can dig it. Â And in loop quantum gravity there are neither Higgses nor gravitons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykilo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Not sure what you mean by loop quantum gravity, so, er, umm... YES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archenemy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Â There is no quantum theory of gravity, yet. String theory might provide a quantum theory of gravity some day. Bullshit. Â Â My only question for a physicist is "Are you free for lunch?". But String Theory and M Theory are off limits because they are unprovable and just plain lame. Hey, that rhymes! Maybe I can publish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra_Commander Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 physics is very valuable. for instance did you know you could get a hot shower using the cold water tap, as long as your shower head was several miles up in the sky? there's a little money saving tip for you.
