I was thinking some intensely energetic gravitons were generated in the BB. And in our era they would be disorganized like static on an analog radio, IOW everywhere.
Not sure why I was thinking they were 'immune' to losing energy due to the expansion of the universe, the wavelengths would be getting longer as space dilutes them like photons.
Well, try this;
initial energies of photons in the BB would have been high, but the universe was opaque to them for quite a while, so the initial high energy ones would have been subject to scattering absorption/reabsorption by subatomic particles and hydrogen. this would be an additional loss of energy over and above the expansion of the universe effect.
Would gravitons have been as effectively attenuated in the early stages of the BB as photons were, and subsequently would still be 'potent' after cosmic expansion ?
See, photons had to go through 2 'gauntlets'. Gravitons less, maybe substantially less than 2 but more than 1.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
