> graviton particle and the Higgs tells space which way to curve
The Higgs does not play that kind of role. It is a common misconception, since Higgs it often referred to as "giving mass to the other particles", which is true, and called the Higgs-mechanism, it does not influence the curvature of space-time that way. That is all due to the graviton (assuming, which it is also commonly believed, that gravity is quantised).
Mass is one thing, interactions between masses another.
- ianai 9y agoYou took out part of my comment and only commented on the part you took out. In my original statement I made that statement as a hypothetical and in a context supposing there isn’t a graviton particle. My desire was to communicate that for gravitons to fill their hypothesized role for gravity they must somehow transmit the gravity from a BH.
