The Gravito-Electro-Magnetic (GEM) Experiment for a graviton theory eking GR | Authorea

A new GEM experiment proposes that gravitons — not spacetime curvature alone — could explain light-bending, quietly challenging one of General Relativity's most iconic proofs.

Theory Briefing
- Bending of electromagnetic radiation near massive bodies is a cornerstone proof of General Relativity, but this paper finds a theoretical gap worth probing.
- The GEM framework treats gravity analogously to electromagnetism, suggesting graviton-mediated interactions could reproduce the same light-deflection observations.
- If gravitons can account for EM bending without pure spacetime curvature, it edges physics closer to a quantized theory of gravity beyond GR.
