There's a real problem with all this. I've seen some shows lately (I know I know, not the best source) about faster than light transmission of data. It used a weird method of blocking the signal, and it 'jumps' across at many times c.

And then there's 'spooky action at a distance', another weird method of data transmission at infinite speed to any point in the universe. Both are basically ignored by relativity as just not happening. Personally, I think there's a lot to learn about gravity and light.

If gravity is transmitted by gravitons, analogous to photons, then there's a REAL death blow to some generally accepted beliefs. If gravity isn't just an after effect of warping of space-time, but a particle, a lot has to be rethought.

Relativity is not a quantum mechanical theory. Those are quantum mechanical effects, so naturally standard relativity theory doesn't consider them. Einstien once said" God does not play dice with the universe" (although he came around somewhat afterwards). To which Hawkings "replied". "Not only does God place dice with the universe, He somes throws them where they can't be seen."
