    Default Quantum Gravity

    Does your brain hurt already or would you like to up the pain level to something more elaborate?
    Try quantum gravity.

    Here's an interesting theory on Gravity.


    It's the full paper so feel free to skip through it looking for the juicy bits. Though I couldn't help but go back and read it from the start.
    It poses some interesting ideas. One of which looks a lot like gravity is quantized in some way.

    time for me to go away and think about it more.

    My brain started to hurt after the introduction. It also occurred to me that as this is theoretical, I wonder how, if at all, they will be able to test these theories, which then made my head hurt even more. Maybe the LHC will be able to shed some light on this. Who knows, we might, yet, develop a TARDIS.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    I noticed, once i surpassed 110kg's, i experienced Quantum Gravity on a daily basis!
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    Trash. It's all smoke and mirrors. Black magic.

    If I can't have tachyons, you can't have quantum gravity!!!!!!

    I don't know Porkop. I wasn't expecting gravitational waves to exist. That would have been more exciting than them existing.
    Now that we know gravitational waves are real it does tend to favour quantised gravity. How do I feel about it. Ummm... conflicted.
    I would tend to not favour it, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Testing the theories isn't too hard lsemmens. The comparison of observations of how gravity acts on matter in the universe is the starting point.
    To me the theory seems backwards, which is why I need to read it a few more time. It's an interesting idea to entertain, but it doesn't mean that it;s correct.
