CHAPTER

Exploration of Gravitons and Space-Time Metrics

The chapter delves into the concept of the metric tensor and gravitons within the framework of space-time, explaining their roles and interplay in understanding the curvature of space-time. It touches on the quantized nature of gravitons as perturbations of the gravitational metric tensor, akin to photons or electrons in their fields. The conversation also includes insights on finding emergent theories in simulated systems and the challenges of course-grained observables in understanding macroscopic variables.
