Gravitons are hypothetical carriers of the gravitational force travelling 
at light speed. Since their speeds are identical and they travel radially 
outward in the same local direction, there would seem to be a grand number 
of photons and gravitons in any unit volume of this combined field with no 
relative motions among them. What would be the numerical ratio of 
gravitons to photons. I wonder if there are interactions between these 
parallel propagating, closely spaced gravitons and photons. I also wonder 
the actual numbers of photons and gravitons reaching a square meter of the 
surface of the earth per second.
