You do not need the Higgs for the gravitation (and its waves) to exist.

- drran 5y agoI agree, that for most calculations those details are unnecessary and can be avoided. However, existence of something is not depended on it necessity for us. Moreover, AFAIK (I'm not a real scientist, so beware), Higgs «field» and medium for gravitational waves (g-medium?) are two different mediums, because Higgs boson is spin-0 and it gives mass, while graviton is spin-2 and is massless.
