Q for Alex

Yes, in a sense though I think there still would be something like gravitons - it would probably at least imply that gravitons aren't fundamental particles but instead the quanta of something else. That's a good question to investigate in order to gain a better understanding of the whole thing.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
