Quantum Gravity
2016
I find it peculiar how many theorists want to explain just how things work in "Quantum Gravity."
Given, y'know, the absence of such a thy.

There is an interesting story I donât know well enough. Many will recall the phrase âUnified Field Theoryâ as the hoped for âTheory of Everything.â At some point this got replaced by âQuantum Gravityâ as the goal. Does anyone know the full story behind this? Was it â70s? And how?
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 isnât anywhere in sight. http://bit.ly/break-gravity

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.
Shots fired! "Even Physicists Donât Understand Quantum Mechanics. Worse, they donât seem to want to understand it." -- me, in the New York Times @nytopinion #SomethingDeeply

Does anyone know what @elonmusk thinks about the state of fundamental physics, unification, quantum gravity and the impact any such progress may have on humanityâs chance for survival? I realize that Iâve never heard him connect fundamental physics progress to plans for humanity.

By mumbling âQuantum Gravityâ every 2 minutes as a mantra and recasting actual High Energy Physics as âPhenomenologyâ they mis-educated an entire generation to think âtoy physicsâ was real physics. Itâs unbelievable.
Toy physics is real geometry & topology. But it ainât physics.

Physics in 1980: âIâm trying to grasp why nature has 3 generations of chiral fermions with SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) internal symmetry.â
Physics Today: âRemind me again what the internal quantum numbers are? I do quantum gravity so itâs not something Iâve worked with since my QFT class.â
I met this rot first in âQuantum Gravityâ
Then in âNeo-Classical Economicsâ
Then in âScientific Manpower Theoryâ
To hear it in virology with MILLIONS dead? Totally mind blowing.
Take back science, by any means necessary. It is now a matter of survival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtfIIG8iYIk
Instantly stop all progress in the worldâs most successful scientific community using only two words inducing permanent paralytic failure that cannot be questioned.
Iâll go first: âQuantum Gravityâ
Quantum Gravity is a 69 year long slow-motion suicide pact. Can we discuss it? No we cannot. That would require discussing its modern origins in 1953 and 1957.
It is, by now, too big to fail. It is not even the elephant in the room. Itâs the blue whale in physicsâ linen closet.
@dingobabyboy Subsumed by Quantum Gravity.
@CurtM2566 You are being distracted then. Focus on Quantum Gravity. Entanglement is real.
@skdh I caution that you not fall into the trap of using Beauty as critique.
The abuse of Beauty in String Theory and Quantum Gravity more generally is valid as a target.
Critiquing the use of beauty, by contrast is a suicide mission. And I donât want to see you on it. As a friend.
Either way, itâs a big deal. Everything changed in the early 70s. Itâs impossible to say how much. The moment the Mansfield amendment came in, physics began to stagnate. And âQuantum Gravityâ destroyed our culture of science. We donât even whisper about its âAnti-Gravityâ origin.

What specific Quantum Gravity theory do you imagine has now been openned up for testing? Are these your words, and, if not, do you know what they mean?
I do not:
"dynamics expected from crossing a traversable wormhole, opening up possibilities to test quantum gravity theories."
Not trying to be difficult, but this sounds like an enormous announcement from Google as I assume you mean it to be as a CEO....and I don't get what is really being claimed in testing quantum gravity. Thx.
