|content=There is an interesting story I don’t know well enough. Many will recall the phrase “Unified Field Theory” as the hoped for ‘Theory of Everything.’ At some point this got replaced by “Quantum Gravity” as the goal. Does anyone know the full story behind this? Was it ‘70s? And how?

|content=Theoretical physicists have known since the 1930s that quantum gravity is necessary to bring order into the laws of nature, writes @skdh, but 80 years on, a solution isn’t anywhere in sight. http://bit.ly/break-gravity

|content=Ok. This is a weird take. The reluctance to engage foundations of quantum mechanics stemmed from the fact that it was far less generative than research in quantum field thy for decades. When Standard Model QFT stagnated & Quantum Gravity stumbled, the opportunity cost decreased.
