|content=I would point you to my favorite documents. Gell-Mannâs 1983 Keynote from Shelter Island II is the best of all because it is RIGHT before the GS anomaly cancellation. [[Quantum Gravity|QG]] is not one of the leading 4 problems at the time. Clearly. | |||
You see [[String Theory]] in the address but it is subordinate to N=8 Sugra. As the leading TOE. | |||
I would also point you to [[Ed Witten|Wittenâs]] 1986 âPhysics and Geometryâ address to the ICM. It is clear that the quantum is not even in the top 3 insights of fundamental physics as he sees it. Itâs all classical field theory. And that is [[Ed Witten|Ed]]. | |||
This [[Quantum Gravity|QG]] focus titrated by energy level is a very late focus. Itâs a very [[Ken Wilson]]/[[Quantum Field Theory|QFT]] centric view of the [[Standard Model|SM]]. And it seems like you are unaware that this looked very different before the [[Quantum Gravity|QG]] mania that cost us so many decades. And continues. | |||
Martin: it just hasnât worked out. Itâs okay to admit that it was a mistake to make this into [[Quantum Gravity|QG]] tunnel vision. Itâs been 40+ years and itâs embarrassing. | |||

|content=Both A) and B) are objectively true | |||
At Planck scale energies, a deeper theory must consistently describe particle interactions in a dynamic spacetime, reproducing QM and GR in their respective domains of validity | |||
No invented âvirusâ is required. Only mathematical consistency | |||

|content=There is a tell when listening to physics folks as to whether theyâre captured by the 1984 Quantum Gravity virus. | |||
They either say: | |||
A) âGeneral Relativity has to be reconciled with the Standard Model.â | |||
or | |||
B) âGeneral Relativity has to be reconciled with Quantum Theory.â | |||

|content=I think you didnât get it Martin. | |||
The tell is the presentation. (Almost?) Everyone agrees that nature is consistent. | |||
Read the thread. There really is a giant difference. | |||

|content=I think you read something into these statements. Next time you talk to a physicist you suspect to be infected, ask them whether they mean anything other than what I said above. Do you know anyone who does? | |||

|content=Martin. I was there when the language changed. In the 1980s. It was swift. And it really didnât make sense. It was a [[Quantum Gravity|quantum gravity]] sales job. | |||
Ask people older than me who didnât become QG people. Or read the older literature. | |||

|content=Can you point me to anyone stating that quantum gravity means anything different from the above? That would be helpful | |||
