Is the idea of a "Graviton" ridiculous?

I'm not going to go into great length about this, but I recall reading into elementary particles and forces and discovering that a "graviton" is meant to account for gravity as a force.

Maybe that was simply one model or theory that I interpreted as "generally accepted", but that's neither here nor there: the point is, I disagree with it and find it mildly ridiculous.

My concept is that gravity is a resultant force; indeed, Einstein described it best within General Relativity. However, I don't see it as a "curvature in space-time." In fact, in my opinion, that also seems ridiculous.

I see it more like... well, pretend you have a giant, spheroid electromagnet. Without a charge, it just sits there... like it's dead. But put a charge through it, and suddenly it whirs to life and pulls everything of sufficient metal content towards it.

Now spin the magnet on its axis. Spin it so fast, it begins to contort under the force of its own rotation. It's spinning so fast, it wants to tear itself apart at the center, and thus begins to bulge at the sides.

Let's see you throw a few coins into the mix. They start violently orbiting the magnet. Throw more coins. MORE COINS. More! MORE! Now throw other metals. Just start throwing crap into the mix... and wait.

Eventually, all the objects you threw at the magnet are going to collide and break apart. As they do, their smaller components are going to stick to that magnet and add to its mass and density.

For argument's sake, let's pretend that magnet is now coated in penny dust. It looks like Mars! Lawl.

If you're following me at all, that's really all it is. Eventually, the force of the magnet is going to dissipate across the surface because it's been sufficiently coated by "neutralizing" agents -- like having a giant table between two magnets. It lessens the attraction but does not completely eliminate it.

Now consider that humans -- and everything else on this planet -- has a charge. The crust of the earth, which sits atop what is essentially a giant supermagnet spinning at a high rate of speed, helps dissipate that strong magnetic pull generated by the core. We're literally stuck to the planet like a giant magnet, and the more dense we are -- the more ENERGY we have, and therefore the greater CHARGE -- the greater the force of "gravity."

In other words... your weight. Your weight is a reflection of your energy content. Is it not? E=mc2. (You could technically argue that mass and weight are different but in reality, they are not as different as one might think -- weight is merely "relative mass.") Therefore, the greater energy content, the greater your attraction to... well, giant electromagnets like the planet... and therefore, the greater your weight. Or at least that's my theory.

Ok, so I went into it at more length that I thought, but the main point is: do you agree that the graviton sounds ridiculous? If so, what are your views?

And if not, why? What evidence, do you feel, supports the existence of the graviton?
