      If relativity explains gravity why do we need a quantum theory of it?              [[Mod. note -- General relativity explains *classical* gravity, but       doesn't incorporate quantum mechanics. As Wikipedia puts it,       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_gravity       > No theory has yet proven successful in describing the general       > situation where the dynamics of matter, modeled with quantum       > mechanics, affect the curvature of spacetime.       That is the basic motivation for why we need a theory of quantum       gravity.       -- jt]]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
