Exploring Gravity and Causality

This chapter discusses the Witten-Weinberg no-go theorem and its implications on massless spin-two particles, including the graviton. It investigates the potential for massive gravity to provide alternative interpretations of gravitational phenomena while maintaining key principles like unitarity and causality. The conversation further examines the complex relationship between high-energy physics and causality, emphasizing how advancements in our understanding of gravitational particles can influence broader physical theories.
