[[File:Quantum-Gravity-is-the-blue-whale-in-physics'-linen-closet.jpg|thumb|''"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. It’s the blue whale in physics’ linen closet."'' ~ Eric Weinstein (Nov 7, 2022)<ref>[https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1589644546920837120 November 7, 2022]</ref>]] | |||
Eric Weinstein discusses [[Quantum Gravity|Quantum Gravity (QG)]] as a non-historical paradigm that emerged abruptly, induced stagnation in fundamental physics, and enforces false but unquestionable narratives, potentially tied to institutional or security motives. He contrasts it with alternatives like [[Theory of Geometric Unity|Geometric Unity (GU)]], emphasizing unification over quantization. Below is a breakdown organized thematically, drawing verbatim from his social media posts. | Eric Weinstein discusses [[Quantum Gravity|Quantum Gravity (QG)]] as a non-historical paradigm that emerged abruptly, induced stagnation in fundamental physics, and enforces false but unquestionable narratives, potentially tied to institutional or security motives.
