Why do Scientists theorize about the Graviton Particle when Gravity is NOT a Force according to Einstein?

487 views

The Hypothesis is that the Graviton could be the force carrier for gravity. But with the knowledge of Einsteins theory of relativity which states that Gravity is NOT a Force, wouldn’t the Graviton disprove Relativity or at least some aspects of it?

They do so because there must be a connection between QFT and ART.

Booth theories are well probed but we do still not have an idea how they are connected.

You can measure the effect gravitation has as an amount of energy and because of einstein energie is equivalent to a mass you can call it a (virtuell) particle and name it graviton.

The idea is that gravitation is somehow quanted like anything else.

This is an open question and the one who found the answer will get the nobel prize and come into the liga of einstein himself.
