Answers below are taken from the article’s stored facts, so they match what the student read.

1. How heavy is Graviton?Expected to be massless and a spin-2 boson, consistent with general relativity
2. What is the mediates gravitational interaction?It is theorized to be the force carrier for gravity
3. What is the quantum gravity problem?Its quantization faces mathematical challenges, particularly with renormalization

Quantum Gravity: A theoretical framework attempting to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics.
String Theory: A theoretical framework where fundamental constituents of matter are one-dimensional vibrating strings.
Renormalization: A technique used in quantum field theory to handle infinities that arise in calculations.
Stress-Energy Tensor: A mathematical object in general relativity that describes the density and flux of energy and momentum.
