right? Why? If they were truely opposite wavelengths, and their

Their quantum numbers are opposite, not their "wavelengths"whatever that's
supposed to mean. The energies don't cancel,
they are both positive.
Also, if
gravity is matter's solution to the conservation of energy,
What is that supposed to mean? Energy conservation doesn't require
gravity. In fact, in General Relativity, conservation of energy
is hard to pin down.
and energy
isn't exactly destroyed during this process but rather converted,
would it not follow that there would be very little effect on the
gravitational field by this action?
Your question is driven by incorrect assumptions of your own.

All I know about gravity is that it's weak,
Yes it is compared to other interactions.
it's negative energy
whereas mass is positive energy,
Sorry but that's incomprehensible. Gravity is an attractiveinteraction so it lowers the energy of
a system, but it
doesn't make it negative.
But so does the electromagnetic interaction between opposite
charges.
and that it's holding me to the floor
right now. I also know several equations, all of which are useless in
this situation.
Really? Which ones?
Lastly I know that people have been having quite a bit
of trouble coming up w/ a quantum theory of gravity, that the graviton
has not yet been observed, and that the only description of the
graviton is in one of the branches of String Theory.
Sort of true. But what does this have to do with what you posted?
I would say that you know a lot more about physics than you understand.
