general relativity - Could there be a "massive gravity" theory?


If we talk about a "quantum theory" of General Relativity, we know that the particle that mediates the gravitational force would be the so called Graviton, a massless particle with spin $2$.


I wonder if (and if it would work) there could be also a different theory like a "massive gravity", whose force is mediated by a massive boson (maybe not that massive too, even a small mass). What would it implicate?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
