May gravitons be super-strong interacting particles?
Michael A. Ivanov

TL;DR
This paper proposes a model where gravitons are super-strongly interacting particles, explaining gravity as a pressure from a background of gravitons with potential testability on Earth.
Contribution
It introduces a novel scheme where gravity arises from external graviton pressure, with super-strong interactions and natural spectrum cut-offs, differing from traditional weak-field quantum gravity models.
Findings
Gravitons form a background with a Planckian spectrum.
Gravity results from external graviton pressure, not exchange.
The model predicts possible experimental verification on Earth.
Abstract
A scheme, in which gravitons are super-strong interacting, is described. The graviton background with the Planckian spectrum and a small effective temperature is considered as a reservoir of gravitons. A cross-section of interaction of a graviton with any particle is assumed to be a bilinear function of its energies. Any pair of bodies are attracting not due to an exchange with its own gravitons, but due to a pressure of external gravitons of this background. A graviton pairing is necessary to obtain classical gravity. Any divergencies are not possible in such the model because of natural smooth cut-offs of the graviton spectrum from both sides. Some cosmological consequences of this scheme are discussed, too. Also it is shown here that the main conjecture of this approach may be verified at present on the Earth.
