    That’s why I think the article is confused. They seem to think the gravity waves are a property of gravitons.

      They seem to think the gravity waves are a property of gravitons.

      The article talks about gravitational waves, not gravity waves. It is believed that gravitational radiation is similar to electromagnetic radiation. This would mean that gravitational waves are made up of particles called gravitons. But as the article says, we don’t know that for sure because we haven’t been able to detect gravitons yet.
