Like dancers on a curved floor, gravitons deflect depending on their spin direction, and due to their double spin, the effect is twice as strong as for photons.

Imagine dancers on a warped floor: those spinning right drift one way, those spinning left the other. It turns out, for the hypothetical particles of gravity — gravitons — this effect is very real and twice as strong as for light. Perhaps this will help us capture the quantum dance of gravity.

🎯 Gravitons are twice as 'twisty' as photons: their intrinsic spin (2) versus 1 for light means the geometric shift is twice as strong.
