So why is gravity an one way phenomenon?

Yet something like "an onion" is correct. Yeah "an one" doesn't sound right but I never really understood the rule of using 'an' or 'a' other then if the first letter of the next word is a vowel, or just from sounding it out in my head.

how the hell would a graviton be emitted? Does something decay? Or, does it just get created out of thin air.

The same way a gluon is emitted?

Its been a while since I read my Quantum Mechanics books, and so I'm rusty on stuff. How IS a gluon emitted again?

Can't remember, but all of the forces seem to act in the same general way. If messenger particles can be found for strong, weak, and electric forces, you just assume gravity will also have it.

For every object that falls to earth in North America, an object of equal mass levitates for a few seconds in China.

The physics of all this gravity talk and proper grammar hurts my head.

Time for bed.
