Gravitrons

[inferno]

As I understand it (and I probably don't understand it!) the the effects of gravity are due to the mass of an object causing local distortion of space, with the attracted object moving towards the object along the shortest possible route. This apparently answers the problem as to how there can be action at a distance (I am sure I have got this bit wrong).

If this is the case what is a gravitron - apparently a particle that carries the gravity force - is it a real particle, or a notional particle?

A Gravatron is a teoretical particle, no one has proved it exists but as Gravity is one of the 4 basic forces that make up nature(The Weakest to be presice) it is assumed it must.

Physicists theorise that the graviton not only drifts through our membrane of space time but also others hence the reason we can't see it.

There is atom smashers around the world smashing atoms and taking pictures(Not with a Nikon) of the particles released hoping to see a glimpse of an unknown particle then a picture directly afterwords. If the particle is not there that was there a split seccond before it is assumed to be a graviton, simply by it's disapearence.

two other particles that carry the four fundamental forces include the photon (carries electromagnetic force) and the gluon (it carries either the weak or the strong force- can't remember which and am not sure what carries the other).
