# Why you need a graviton when you have the higgs boson?

Since I studied General Relativity I had this question running on my mind. As I see it (just taking lectures of Quantum Field Theory right now)

"Why you need a gauge boson for gravity when the higgs brings things mass?"

You know, mass is the cause for physicist to study differential geometry so why we need another unproven particle, to exist, in order to describe it?

You can work out that a theory of gravity based upon a scalar field will not be able to produce gravitational lensing, which is an observed effect. –  Jerry Schirmer Oct 26 '11 at 11:48
In the linear approximation, GR predicts gravity waves, which can be described by gravitons. This explanation comes up independent of the Higgs Boson. The need for one doesn't really have any bearing on the other. –  P O'Conbhui Mar 31 '12 at 0:15

The Higgs gives things a rest mass in the standard model, but it is not the only source of rest mass. There is also confining strong interactions, which give hadrons a mass independent of the Higgs.

The graviton mediates gravity, while the Higgs doesn't. The Higgs force is short ranged. The classical graviton is arguably observed already, in the friction of pulsating binaries which matches the prediction of GR for decay due to gravitational waves.

Uncertainty relation dictates, $m \simeq \dfrac{\hslash}{rv}$, where, $m$ is mass of exchange particle, $r$ is range of force and $v$ velocity of exchange particle.

As, the range of gravitational force in infinite, $r=\infty$, mass of proposed graviton should be zero.

Now, according to Standard model, particles acquire mass by interacting with Higgs field, which pervades everywhere in space. Now, Higgs bosons mediates the action of Higgs field, there mass as predicted is of the order of $1 \quad TeV/c^2$.

Hence, as my understanding goes Higgs bosons gives mass, which is the property due to which a force gravity occurs, which is mediated by gravitons which is massless.

They both are needed for different functions.

The Higgs Bison may give rise to the clumping of mass but there is still to much to explain that does not include the Higgs Bison, such as why does apparently empty space bend light?

Why is the universe's mass increasingly accelerating in the expansion of the universe. Do you ever wonder why an electron, a fundamental particle (?) can be broken down into three overall pieces, but not all three at the same time. What force holds an electron together, photons do not fully explain this...?

Here is a solution to the problems physicists have with the observations of the actions of the universe, a brief description of a well thought out reverse engineering.

If everything is essentially made up of one thing and that one thing is given off from all mass and energy and forms an irreversibly bound wave which is in-phase with all mass and energy forming larger and larger wavefronts with a reaction kickback to wavefront formation then everything can be answered. So does all NASA and energy decay into a gravitational wave? And if so does the collision of these waves modulate the communication between masses and energies? I say yes. Evidence-

1. 1993 Nobel prize in physics showing Loss of gravitational energy in an isolated system.
2. Drop two ping pong balls 1/4 inch apart and 6 feet above still water, in water and they pop up touching showing a back action to wavefront formation.

As mass and energy decay within a system, the system stabilizes the loss by filling in with quanta of radiation from the stars. With in an isolated system, overall loss of energy until the system becomes a black hole, then the evaporation of mass and energy continues through black hole evaporation forming space, the gravitational wave, emitted from all mass and energy creating the actions of time, space and gravity through the reaction to wavefront formation.
