|content=This is what is blocking progress in my opinion for physics to go beyond [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]] and [[General Relativity]]. | |||
40 years ago, the leaders of physics started claiming that gravity had to be quantized to be compatible with the [[Standard Model]]. | |||
But the incompatibility is *not* Quantum vs Classical field theory. The *classical* field theory of the [[Standard Model]] is already not compatible with classical [[General Relativity]]. | |||
[[General Relativity]], at least as it is now, simply cannot be gauged so as to make it a true gauge theory, because Gauge transformation does *not* commute with the Ricci Contractions used in the field equations, and within the Einstein Hilbert action. | |||
