Students Learn to Derive Universal Properties of Gravitons — •Hans-Otto Carmesin — Athenaeum, Stade — Studienseminar Stade — Universität Bremen, Fachbereich 1

Gravitation is omnipresent. However, it has been criticized since Newton (1686) that the propagation of the gravitational interaction has not yet been explained. But this propagation can now be derived by students in an elegant & exact manner: Based on the usual algebraic structure of general relativity, the dynamics of volume are analyzed & derived. These dynamics are realistic, as they can be measured. They are meaningful, as they imply universal properties of the dynamics of volume and gravity at various interconnected levels, at the level of: quanta [1], curvature of spacetime, tensors and spins, fields and potentials, the density of dark energy, the expansion of space since the Big Bang, the object that transmits gravity - the graviton.

The graviton is insightful, as it interconnects the above fields of knowledge about gravity, and tests are provided. Thereby, all results are in precise accordance with observation and fully derived from physical principles [2,3]. Experiences from teaching in research clubs and general study courses at a university are presented.
