SLAC Theorist Lance Dixon Explains Quantum Gravity
- jharohit 11y agoMr.Susskind has a Stanford lecture on this topic detailing the physics in his own unique & awesome way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9crggox5rbc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9crggox5rbc
- tashi 11y agoWow, that's a great lecture! It really seems like the pieces could be coming together on not just unification, but a fundamental (though very non-intuitive) understanding of how spacetime works.
- grabcocque 11y agoIf your theory is not "predictive", it's not a theory, just Aristotelian wanking. People that have been working on quantum gravity for two decades and haven't made a single testable prediction? Some point you have to accept you've been led down a blind alleyway.
- semi-extrinsic 11y agoAFAIK there are currently no predictive theories that combine quantum mechanics and gravity. Should we just give up then, stop researching the topic? And I must say, this article was a refreshingly down-to-earth break from the breathless stuff that usually comes out of university PR departments.
