How can anyone develop a theoretical framework that successfully unifies general relativity and quantum mechanics? how this new theory should accurately describe gravitational interactions at quantum scales and seamlessly integrate with the Standard Model of particle physics.
Specific Challenges:
- How can anyone formulate a consistent theory of quantum gravity?
- How can anyone resolve the inconsistencies between the predictions of general relativity and quantum mechanics?
- How can anyone provide testable predictions that can be experimentally verified?
Current Approaches:
- String Theory: Is it possible to propose that fundamental particles are one-dimensional "strings" rather than point particles, with different vibrational modes corresponding to different particles?
- Loop Quantum Gravity: Is it helpful to suggest that space-time has a discrete structure at the smallest scales, composed of tiny loops?
Dear Ram Bharosha Tiwari,
You asked:
How can anyone formulate a consistent theory of quantum gravity?
How can anyone resolve the inconsistencies between the predictions of general relativity and quantum mechanics?
How can anyone provide testable predictions that can be experimentally verified?
Well from my humble point of view the great problem with the inconsistency between GR and QM consisted in that the former used a mathematical tool such as Tensor Analysis, based on "real numbers", so with them Time was reduced to a Space dimension, I mean Time was an entity with the same symmetrical properties of space, so it could take both signs positive and negative like space, so physics entered then in sort of metaphysical framework in which it was possible even to conceive time travel... to the past and the future, as Stephen Hawking explains in his book A BRIEFER HISTORY OF TIME, but Quantum Physics, is based mathematically, as was presented by Erwin Schrödinger in 1926, in his complex wave equation, complex because it is based on complex numbers.
In fact in my paper
A Quantum Physical Theory of Gravitation?
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/381323484_A_Quantum-Physical_Theory_of_Gravitation
the equations of GR are deduced in a new framework by means of what I have named, a Basic Systemic Unit based on Euler's relation, in such a way that in it, the symbol so-called imaginary, sqr(-1), is just a symbol to distinguish two different order of reality such as time and space.
In fact the part affected by the symbol sqr(-1) has to do with space and the Sine function that can take both signs, positive and negative, with the change of the sign of the angle, and in the meanwhile the part not affected by sqr(-1), is associated with Cosine function, that remains positive in spite the sign of the angle, it cannot be negative, as Time is a flow from the past, to the present, to the future, once you measure it in a line, it is not the same measured quantity anymore, as it is flowing.
In the paper
The Basic Systemic Unit and the Principle of Synergy A Quantum Mechanics relativist?
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/378673211_The_Basic_Systemic_Unit_and_the_Principle_of_Synergy_A_Quantum_Mechanics_relativist
you can find to the deduction of the Schrödinger wave equation with the same Basic System Unit concept based on Euler's relation, so the Basic Systemic Unit concept is that mathematical framework that being based on the Euler's relation and its most remarkable property of remain the same in spite such operations such as integration and differentiation that represent change, it is in a certain sense a QUANTUM.

My personal opinion is that one shold not even try.
One theory is for the micro world, the other for the macro.
Dear Mr. Juan Weisz
But there is 0nly one Universe, and both the macro and the micro can be unified if we solve that Radical Duality in a unit that represent both the micro and the macro, the Interior and the Exterior, the wave and the particle, because at last all Reality can be reduced to Energy, that can behave both as a wave or as particle.

Perhaps both should be replaced. The real physics question is uniting in one model the macro (cosmology), classical, and the micro observations. Each has observations that are poorly explained or unexplained.
It is possible to have one model and this model should reduce to GR or QM with appropriate simplifications. I suggest the STOE:

No, they don't have to be replaced, I am sorry if I am repeating myself but the point is to see them both in unified framework, as I think, I have done In my paper
A Quantum Physical Theory of Gravitation?
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/381323484_A_Quantum-Physical_Theory_of_Gravitation
where the equations of GR are deduced in a new framework by means of what I have named, a Basic Systemic Unit based on Euler's relation, in such a way that in it, the symbol so-called imaginary, sqr(-1), is just a symbol to distinguish two different order of reality such as time and space.

I hope you all can make the effort to read it, and I would appreciate any criticism to convince myself I am proposing something wrong, because the only thing that I have found, is that as it is based on complex numbers, it seems quite difficult to accept it, and people in general are quite familiar just with the so-called "real" numbers as sqr(-1), seems to be a strange symbol that was called "imaginary", and not a symbol for distinguish to different orders of reality such as time and space as I have said before.
Thanks so much in advanced

General relativity and quantum mechanics is not science to this date, both are in stage of theory of probability without any evidence.
In other hand, one-dimension of our made-up mathematic cannot describe three-dimension of nature that it is changing constantly.
Such unscientific question,
thank you for sharing your thought.
Ram Bharosha Tiwari ,
the problem is basically that one prediction of Lorentz Transformations infringes the conservation laws. So somebody must restart from experimentally verified formulas for a new unified theory.

“Unification of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics is possible ?”
- the scientific answer to this question is “Unification of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics is fundamentally impossible”. That follows from that the GR is based on fundamentally incorrect postulate that real objects/events/effects/processes in systems of real gravitationally coupled bodies are determined by real interactions in systems “mass-spacetime-mass”, what, as that rigorously scientifically proven in
- the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s really philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, recent version of the basic paper see
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363645560_The_Information_as_Absolute_-_2022_ed
- where the fundamentally transcendent in mainstream philosophy and sciences, including physics, fundamental phenomena/notions “Space”, “Time”, “Energy”, “Information”, are rigorously scientifically defined,
- and more concretely in physics in the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s Planck scale informational physical model,
- fundamentally cannot exist.
Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, (at least) [4+4+1]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z, g,w,e,s,ct), which fundamentally cannot be impacted [“curved”, “bend”, “warp”, etc.] by anything in Matter, and fundamentally cannot impact on anything in Matter.
At that, though QM also principally is based on essentially transcendent postulates, but these postulates are scientifically adequate to the reality enough for QM to be fundamentally incompatible with the GR.
Gravity fundamentally is nothing else than some fundamental Nature force, more see recent version of 2007 SS&VT Planck scale informational initial physical Gravity model in https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365437307_The_informational_model_-_Gravity_and_Electric_Forces,
- which is the base for development of both – macro and QM scales real Gravity theories.
More see the links; SS posts in https://www.researchgate.net/post/NO43Doubts_about_General_Relativity_8-How_is_Energy-Momentum_of_Gravitational_Field_Expressed_How_is_It_Transferred_How_is_It_Exchanged/2are relevant to this thread question.
