well correct me if im wrong but i thought they still haven't proved the actual speed of gravity yet.

I was just wondering that if it turns out that gravity is mediated by the graviton, then wouldnt the graviton be the first true tachyon known. The reason why i say tachyon is through examples where gravity is obviously traveling faster than the speed of light such as in black holes. Just looking for some higher intellects to extrapolate on this.

You know I never really got into the "tree falling in the forest" analogy. I mean, if a tree falls and no one is there to hear it did it fall? Of course it fell. It made a sound, period. Just because humans are not around to record every little thing doesn't mean that things don't happen. So the double slit experiment is sort of the same thing.

The whole reason everyone is looking for a graviton is because every other force has been explained in quantum physics by an elementary particle. Therefore, it makes sense through deductive logic to assume and search for a particle that constitutes the force of gravity.
