Three types of gravitons in emergent modified gravity
Since it has been proposed that gravity is emergent and gravitons are composed of pairs of gauge bosons, from the fact that the mass (self-energy) of a particle corresponds to the sum of the contributions of the three fundamental interactions, we suggest that there may exist three types
of gravitons, each corresponding to the gauge-boson pairings of the three fundamental interactions. Comparisons with observations at galactic and cosmic scales are attempted, and tests at very small distances are envisaged.
