The Graviton

Gravitational waves have recently been detected. These space waves are predicted by General Relativity. As of today, there is no theoretical proof, or observational evidence, for the existence of quanta of these waves. These quanta are considered by some to be the " force-carrying " mediators between masses-the Gravitons. In this paper we suggest a model of the, as yet hypothetical, Graviton. We also relate to the effort to quantize gravitation, and raise arguments in support of the existence of Gravitons.
