Text: Gravitons are time-averaged envelopes, and can move at any velocity - similar to phase waves. What is moving in an electrogravitational wave is photon coupling and decoupling. The graviton is still not a well-defined, well understood, and agreed upon entity. Whether or not a graviton exhibits mass or is massless remains an open question. Linearity versus nonlinearity of the graviton is also yet to be totally resolved. The state of the subject in present physics is thus unclear. Indeed, it can be surmised that, if gravitons exhibit mass, then gravitons in deep space could possibly account for the cosmological "missing mass" needed to close the universe. As an example, for a discussion that favors graviton mass, see O. Costa de Beauregard, Massless or Massive Gravitation?, Foundation of Physics Letters, 3(1), 1990, p. 81-85. As an example to show how concepts such as 'photon' and 'graviton' have a very complicated background that affects whether or not unification of physics can be accomplished, see Horst-Heino von Borzeszkowski, Remarks on the Physicsal Reality of Gravitons, Foundations of Physics, 20(4), 1990, p. 435-445.
