So it might be a skybox after all…
Odd that the local gravity is stronger than the rest of the cosmos.
Makes me think about the fringe theory I’ve posted about before that information might have mass.
Do we think we are ever going to crack Quantum Gravity?
I had heard recently that another line of thinking was treating gravity as an emergent property of the other fundamental forces and not fundamental itself. Seemed interesting but no idea if it is even testable.Wow. So are you arguing that we need a gravitational theory that explains interactions at quantum scales and the quantum theory is likely mostly bunk?
No, in fact as long as it’s impossible to measure the gravitational effects from quanta (which is currently the case) there doesn’t seem to be an actual conflict. The theories around conflicts all entertain quantum behaviors at objects larger than what’s been observed to date.
Quantum theory isn’t ‘bunk’ - it’s experimentally proven.
But I do think it’s a side effect of simulation and that the macro continuous behavior of a theory like general relativity is the foundational behavior being modeled. It just can’t be simulated that way with free agents, hence the conversion to quanta at the point of interaction.
Oh hmm. I’m not versed enough to understand this conversation. I did preorder the book that the author wrote, maybe that’ll help
Maybe the warping of space-time by matter also warps the laws of physics, so they’re not constant, but their distortion is?
