Can Gravity Exist Without Mass?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • According to general relativity, gravity is curvature of spacetime caused by mass-energy.
  • However, gravitational waves can propagate without a stationary mass.
  • In quantum theory, gravitons could convey gravity even in empty space.
  • Dark energy may produce repulsive gravity without ordinary matter.
