If physicists were to prove that gravitons exist, they would unambiguously prove that Einstein\u2019s theory is ultimately wrong and must be replaced by a more complete theory that gives quantum properties to space and time. In a recent paper, a physicist came up with an ingenious experiment that could prove that gravitons do exist.
