Mass of the graviton

Abstract

After emphasizing that it remains an open question whether one should try to quantize gravity theory (which would mean gravitational force is propagated by a graviton particle), we nevertheless ask whether a limit can be set on the rest mass (${\mu }_g$) of the "graviton." By recalling that gravitational force is clearly exerted over large distances in systems of galaxies and is not eliminated by a graviton-mass Yukawa cutoff, we find a limit. So, although it is not known if the graviton exists, one can still say that its rest mass is less than 2 × ${10}^{-62\mathrm{}}$ g.
