This book builds on the pioneering work of "Unravelling the Great Mysteries of the Universe". The graviton is defined as the quantum field particle of spacetime that provides the Universe with the dimensions of time and space. Accordingly, the Universe is teeming with high-energy gravitons which are at the speed of light. The actions of the graviton give a foundation from which general relativity can be derived. Gravitational redshift in a weak gravitational field, as well as in a strong gravitational field, is used to derive the unification equation which relates the gravitational constant, Planck's constant, the speed of light, the frequency of incident gravitons and the wavenumber of incident gravitons. From the unification equation, the frequency and wavenumber of incident gravitons for a free body are calculated. By this new approach, a free body is defined to be at absolute rest; a condition which means that the body experiences incident gravitons with distinct, constant values for frequency and for wavenumber. This approach amends a key postulate of relativity. Also, the unification equation is applied to the Einstein equation, enabling it to be written in a new form and revealing how general relativity actually depends on the quantum nature of the graviton. The Compton Effect is used to predict the scattering angle for gravitons encountering hydrogen nuclei and hydrogen atoms, plus rotation curves are analysed to estimate the scattering angle of gravitons. The similarity in the ranges of predicted and empirical values supports the new approach to the graviton. Next, it is reasoned that scattering produces diffraction patterns of gravitons which cause curvature of spacetime with effects that are dependent on distance. Importantly, until particles can be encompassed within diffraction minima, there is no net effect of the diffraction patterns on orbiting particles. So at these distances, the gravitational effects can be explained by general relativity alone. New effects start when particles can be encompassed within diffraction minima, i.e., at the critical distance which is predicted to be in the range of 0.1-1 kpc. At distances larger than the critical distance, diffraction patterns of gravitons cause curvature of spacetime on a much larger scale than can be explained by general relativity. Equations are derived which can explain the rapid orbital speeds of bodies in galactic haloes. Cosmological observations which previously have been explained by the ad hoc invention of dark matter, can now be explained in terms of diffraction patterns of gravitons. Furthermore, the accelerated expansion of the Universe is explained in terms of the gravitational redshift of gravitons. The sea of gravitons is the cosmological fluid of the Universe which provides free bodies with an energy density that is constant as the Universe ages. The findings of this book can be used to modify the current cosmological model and explain cosmological observations in a new, meaningful and straightforward way. It provides a pathway which extends and unifies general relativity and quantum theory.
