I don't know much about this, but I've read that the standard model and GR are mutually inconsistent? How do you "glue them together"?

- PhantomGremlin 9y agoI also don't know much about this. But I don't think there's anything serious yet that glues them together. Years ago someone on slashdot made an attempt. It's silly humor. Your moma so fat even if I'd entangle with her no information would be able to leave her event horizon. Nobody has managed to put gravitation and QM together yet, and you want to do it in a your-momma-so-fat-joke? Wow. https://science.slashdot.org/story/09/02/19/2338245/human-eye-could-detect-spooky-action-at-a-distance https://science.slashdot.org/story/09/02/19/2338245/human-ey... Sigh. I couldn't resist. It's one of my favorites. Let the downvotes begin.
- freeflight 9y ago>standard model and GR are mutually inconsistent? I'm not an expert, but from what I understand GR and standard model don't exactly contradict each other, they are both considered "valid" and self-consistent on their own as they merely describe different processes on different scales? On their own, they work just fine but if we try to stick the two of them together, to get a "unifying theory", we get different outcomes than we expected, that's why we are now trying to find the "glue" that fits the two of them together while still making sense in the end. At least that's my layman's take on this whole situation.
