Gravitons are hypothetical particles that are believed to mediate the force of gravity in quantum field theory. They are part of the framework that attempts to unify the fundamental forces of nature, including electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Gravitons are thought to be massless and travel at the speed of light, similar to photons, which are the particles of light. Despite their theoretical importance, gravitons have not yet been observed experimentally. The search for gravitons is a significant aspect of ongoing research in particle physics and quantum gravity, as scientists aim to better understand how gravity operates at the quantum level.
