| May 26, 2021 at 1:36 | comment | added | Eric Smith | As for "how many gravitons does it take to make a gravitational wave", this is very much like asking "how many photons does it take to make a radio wave". There's not really a good answer, but you could start at: physics.stackexchange.com/questions/90646/… | |
| May 26, 2021 at 1:34 | comment | added | Eric Smith | The distinction between real and virtual particles is pretty complex, but you can start by looking at physics.stackexchange.com/questions/147096/…. In quantum field theory the whole notion of "particle" is not at all like the intuitive picture of a little ball; in QFT a particle is an excitation of a field. | |
