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

493 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?

>wouldn’t the Graviton disprove Relativity

Without commenting on the rest, which I’ll leave to more informed commenters, I want to point out that this part of your objection isn’t a big deal. Relativity is a model. A professor of mine once said (quoting someone else, I’m sure) “All models are wrong, some are useful”. Newton’s classical mechanics are wrong. But they’re very, very useful, even today.
