Open Limitations of Quantum Gravity: a Brief Overview

Authors: Ervin Goldfain
Comments: 6 Pages.

Despite years of sustained research on multiple avenues, unification of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and General Relativity (GR) appears to be heading towards a dead end. There are by now dozens of review articles, podcasts, blog entries, conference proceedings and books explaining the challenges of unification and debating the status of this presumptive failure. Yet no consensus exists on what the next steps ought to be and on whether the whole unification effort is to be abandoned. The (modest) goal of this short review is to go over the main conceptual limitations of Quantum Gravity (QG) programs. This tutorial reflects a personal viewpoint, likely to stand at odds with the wide spectrum of opinions of those working in this field.

Discussion of a Possible Approach for the Quantization of the Gravitational Field

Authors: Yandong Yang
Comments: 8 Pages.

In this paper, the author begins by reviewing the fundamental contradictions between general relativity (GR) and quantum mechanics (QM) from the perspective of background manifolds, while highlighting a core principle that must be satisfied by both theories. The Schrdinger's cat thought experiment, Young's double-slit interference experiment, and the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky (ERP) paradox are discussed in the context of this principle. The author proposes a unification of GR and QM within a mathematical framework by introducing the concepts of virtual potential fields and virtual mass. Based on this discussion, a model of black holes is presented, along with a potential explanation for the black hole information paradox, which may also offer insights into the mystery of antimatter. The paper further explores the possible applications of virtual particles in quantum field theory, including the treatment of divergent terms in the quantization of real scalar fields and the physical significance of the Pauli-Villars renormalization method, along with an estimate of the Lamb shift. Finally, the author suggests a promising approach for the quantization of the gravitational field.

5-Dimensional Space-Time Mapping and Planck Quantum Gravity Theory

Authors: Xiao Lin Li
Comments: 11 Pages.

In 5-dimensional space-time, the Planck quantum gravity theory can be constructed based on standard quantum field theory methods. The 4-dimensional space-time observed by humans is a mapping of the 5-dimensional space-time. The mapping from 5-dimensional space-time to 4-dimensional space-time satisfies the path integration rule. By using the path integration method, the space-time mapping can be deduced and calculated, so as to transform the Planck quantum gravity theory of 5-dimensional space-time into Planck gravity theory in 4-dimensional space-time, and then calculate and explain the gravitational phenomena in 4-dimensional space-time, which is consistent with the experimental results in 4-dimensional space-time. Physically, the mapping from high-dimensional space-time to low-dimensional space-time requires the use of path integration rules, which is the spacetime mapping principle. The gravitational mass in 4-dimensional space-time comes from the space-time mapping, and the gravitational mass is just the inertial mass, and there is no independent gravitational mass. The physical meaning of mass in gravity is to denote a new type of probability density. In the 4-dimensional space-time, Planck quantum gravity theory has different calculation results from other gravitational theories in five aspects, and whether Planck quantum gravity theory is consistent with the real universe can be tested experimentally.

Future Technology Launching Space Rocket Using Gravitational Shielding

Authors: Viktar Yatskevich
Comments: 9 Pages.

This paper presents a novel technological advancement for Earth-to-Space rocket launches, utilizing gravity shielding implemented at the launch pad. The gravity shield, positioned at the base of the launch pad, mitigates the influence of Earth's gravitational forces on the rocket during its ascent phase. This innovation holds particular significance during the critical initial moments of launch when the rocket must overcome gravitational resistance to achieve liftoff. The proposed technology is grounded in the principles of gravitational physics, which elucidate the generation of gravitational fields and the dynamics of gravitational interactions among celestial bodies, incorporating established scientific insights into the fundamental structure of matter. By leveraging the physical theory of gravitation, this approach not only elucidates a plethora of experimental data and observational phenomena but also facilitates the reconciliation of gravitational theory with quantum mechanics, offering theoretical explanations for various gravitational anomalies across micro and macroscopic scales. These advancements bear profound practical and economic implications. The development of gravity shielding technology and its integration into missile systems represent a pioneering frontier in space exploration, promising to revolutionize sectors such as energy, transportation, and defense. Consequently, this trajectory offers unprecedented opportunities for commercial monopolization in high-tech markets, thereby shaping the future landscape of technological innovation and industrial competitiveness.

Determination of Solar Granule Temperature and Sunspot Basins by Quantum Gravity Theory

Authors: Huaiyang Cui
Comments: 12 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Further repetition will not be accepted!)

Matter wave has been generalized on a planetary scale as a quantum gravity theory, and applied to solar science. It was found that celestial size is the consequence of interference of the generalized matter waves, the sunspot cycle 11 years represents the beat-period of the interference. By the quantum gravity theory, the mean density of convection zone is determined as 3.3e-3 kg/m3, the mean temperature of the granule layer is calculated out to be 8689K. The solar surface winds are investigated, the sunspot basins locate at 0°N ~ 30°N on the northern hemisphere, where the wind speeds almost equal to zero.

Calculation of Uranus' Size and Neptune's Size by Quantum Gravity Theory

Authors: Huaiyang Cui
Comments: 10 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Further repetition will not be accepted!)

Matter wave has been generalized on a planetary scale as a quantum gravity theory, and applied to the solar system. This paper shows that Uranus' size and Neptune's size are the consequence of interference of the generalized matter waves. In this calculation, Uranus' radius is determined as 2.455042e+7 (m) with a relative error of 3.2%; Neptune's radius is determined as 2.315699e+7 (m) with a relative error of 5.95%. This calculation also correctly predicts the locations of rings for Uranus and Neptune.

Unified Quantum-Gravity Interaction Framework (UQGIF)

Authors: Enquzer Getachew
Comments: 8 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references)

This paper presents the Unified Quantum-Gravity Interaction Framework (UQGIF), a theoretical model that integrates quantum mechanics and gravity. The framework combines elements from quantum field theory and general relativity into a unified Lagrangian density, which includes quantum, gravitational, and interaction terms. Central to the UQGIF is a dynamic meta-field M that interacts with spacetime curvature R and scalar and fermionic fields ∅_i and ψ_i, . This approach offers a full description of fundamental interactions, providing insights into the nature of spacetime and quantum phenomena. The framework has implications for particle physics, cosmology, and experimental predictions, potentially addressing longstanding challenges in unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The Continuous Nature of Time, Space and Spacetime: Challenging the Discrete Physical Theories

Authors: Gopal Krishna
Comments: 19 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please do not use line numbers)

This paper argues for the continuous nature of time, space and spacetime, based on all observers' internal experience of the present moment as having zero duration and all observers internally experiencing always being in the present moment without any divisibility and discontinuity of this present moment and the logical consistency based on the space being the substratum for the existence of time. The implications of this continuity challenge the physical theories proposing discrete structures of space or time or spacetime, such as loop quantum gravity, causal set theory, etc.
