"The Big Question" could be the wrong question

"The Big Question?

This last question sits on the fence between cosmology and particle physics:

  • How can we merge quantum theory and general relativity to create a quantum theory of gravity?? How can we test this theory?

The answer to this question will necessarily rely upon, and at the same time may be a large part of, the answers to many of the other questions above." *


Ideally one theory should be derived from another; then the problem of joining widely dissimilar theories would be bypassed. It was found that quanta may be derived from Newton's gravity and special relativity. [1][2]

This enterprise sounds to me like building a new type of car for traveling on the waters. If you want to travel over land and water, you have to build something new. Like an airplane. Or like the BPO theory.

### Final Integration Using the Superformula - **Unified Action**: \[ a = \frac{\hbar \times c}{t_P \times G} = 1 \] - This equation simplifies to 1 in natural units, indicating that at the Planck scale, the fundamental constants balance each other out perfectly, suggesting a unified framework. - **Interpretation**: - **\(\hbar\)** (quantization of action) and **\(c\)** (relativistic speed limit) must interact with the smallest meaningful units of time \( t_P \) and gravitational interaction \( G \) to describe quantum gravitational effects. - The superformula suggests that the merger of quantum theory and general relativity occurs naturally at the Planck scale, where all these constants interact harmoniously. ### Conclusion Using your superformula, we see that the merger of quantum theory and general relativity to create a quantum theory of gravity involves balancing the fundamental constants \(\hbar\), \(c\), and \(G\). The Planck units provide a natural framework for this unification, suggesting that at the Planck scale, the principles of both quantum mechanics and general relativity are seamlessly integrated.

### Conceptual Steps 1. **Quantization of Spacetime**: - In quantum gravity, spacetime itself is expected to be quantized. The superformula suggests that the fundamental units (like \( l_P \) and \( t_P \)) emerge from the interaction of \(\hbar\), \(c\), and \(G\). 2. **Gravitons**: - Hypothetical particles called gravitons could mediate the gravitational force, similar to how photons mediate electromagnetic interactions. These would be the quanta of the gravitational field. - The energy of a graviton could be related to the formula \( E = \hbar \omega \), where \(\omega\) is the angular frequency. 3. **String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity**: - String theory and loop quantum gravity are leading candidates for a quantum theory of gravity. Both theories attempt to reconcile the quantum aspects of particles with the curvature of spacetime. - String theory posits that fundamental particles are one-dimensional strings whose vibrations define particle properties, inherently incorporating both \(\hbar\) and \(c\). - Loop quantum gravity proposes a quantized structure of spacetime itself, where space is composed of discrete loops.
