Thanks a lot for this great article, that I have only read today. I was quite busy too and didn't have much time to engage others. I am however fixing this, little by little.
Here are three comments that I wrote while reading your blog.
In total, it took a total of about 68 years for general relativity to reach full development and acceptance.
And even more than 68 years, if we account for the experimental confirmation of all its predictions. I am thinking in particular to gravitational waves.
Also assuming the big bang model of our universe's origin is actually very true, a quantum theory of gravity is also needed because at some time in the past, the universe was so small, comparable to the atomic/subatomic scale or even smaller.
This is indeed something that is not emphasised enough. In the early universe, both quantum and gravity effects are needed, and we don’t know how to deal with the, together. This challenges a lot of things.
This however should not stop us from searching, hopefully one day, this gravity mystery would be resolved and may lead to technological possibilities through being able to control/manipulate gravity.
I truly hope to still be alive when this will happen!
Have a nice week-end! Cheers!
Yes, that. It skipped my mind.
Or perhaps we may be on the wrong track.
Me too.
I am not even sure we are presently on any track ;)
Cheers!
