Cavorting captain skipped, disturbing quantum particle (8)
I believe the answer is:
graviton
'particle' is the definition.
(I know that graviton is a type of quantum)
'cavorting captain skipped disturbing quantum' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'quantum' could be 'ton' (ton is a kind of quantum) and 'ton' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for graviton that I've seen is " Hypothetical particle".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
