Electromagnetism as a wave-particle duality makes sense because if it was just a wave, blackholes wouldn't exist due to no mass. Plus it supports 'E=m x c^2' since light has energy, it must have mass.
I was hoping physicists would discover the graviton so we'd be one step closer to all the cool Star Trek stuff. The Higgs Boson almost certainly rules out that a graviton even exists. Does this mean gravity isn't really one of the fundamental forces of nature? So far each force has its own particle, the most well-known being the photon for electromagnetism. Yet, gravity travels at the same speed as light, so it seems like a force of nature. Where is my warp drive?!
