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

491 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?

It’s a big deal when trying to unify relativity with quantum physics. A force-carrying particle would add a quantum value for gravity to the current quantum zoo of particles and give us a totally new way to model gravity, from the least possible unit to all of the universe. If it turns out gravity is a force we’d be able to seriously consider modeling the interiors of black holes. We could more precisely model orbits. We could directly hypothesize anti-gravity technology. We could build weapons that make nukes look like cat farts. Getting ahead of myself…
