Scientists have finally figured out a way to connect the dots between the macroscopic and the microscopic worlds. Their magical equation might provide us answers to questions like why black holes don't collapse and how quantum gravity works.

    So, this has yet to be peer reviewed, and I am far from a theoretical physicist … I certainly can’t say its correct or incorrect.

    It does seem … too convenient. As in, how could it possibly have taken so many physicists so long to not just try this decades ago?

    Basically, they throw the Planck Length and Planck energy (from Quantum Physics) into the Einstein Field Equation (from General Relativity) …

    … and are then able to mathematically derive basically the rest of the laws of physics, which seem to be quite close to or totally in line with the Standard Model (of Quantum Physics).

    Unfortunately I do not see any direct comparisons if their predicted values for MeV’s of fundamental particles with experimental data…

    Anyway, the paper notes 2 interesting, direct implications:

    1. Dark Matter is not real, there’s no need for it in this model. Galaxy rotation speeds work out to what we see without need for additional, unseen, mass.

    2. Either A, our universe is mirrored by and entangled with an antiuniverse of antiparticles which all travel backward through time (antitime?), or B, our universe is part of an evolution of … prior(?) universe(s?) which generate black holes, which do not form singularities but instead create entangled white holes as other universes, expanding spacetimes.

    Bonus conclusion:

    The Fine Structure Constant may not actually be constant.

    If it was plausible this would be bigger news. There’s a claim like this every couple of months and none have held up to scrutiny so far.

    I’ll remain sceptic on the claim until the paper is peer reviewed by people who actually know the stuff in it, unlike me.

    Planck units are the smallest packets of something, which is called quanta. Planck discovered he could get more accurate measurements if he separated the energy from radiation in small packages, which proved useful for other theories later.

    It looks like some undergraduate’s attempt at Grand Unified Theory. Also, what is Gellman matrix?
