Exploring What If: ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of the conjecture "ER = EPR" being true, and whether this means that "gravitational wave = 3+1 dimensional part of quantum wave" is also true. The conversation also touches on holographic theory and spin networks in loop quantum gravity. The conversation was originally posted in the homework section of the forum and then transferred here.

Homework Statement


If ER==EPR
Then IsPossible(gravitational wave == projection of quantum wave)

In other words:
If the conjecture of "ER = EPR" is true,
is it possible that "gravitational wave = 3+1 dimensional part of quantum wave" is also true?

Not sure how you wound up with a homework template but interesting topic none the less!

The first article you linked is similar to holographic theory, how the information of matter in a given volume can be encoded in the "surface" of the boundary. The "spin network" system used in LQG somehow keeps track of differences in sides of NOT identical triangles into pentagrams or tetrahedra or who knows I don't really have much more than a basic concept of it. I'm simply throwing out some examples of theories with some scientific backing which is all that PF rules allows to be discussed, you can get points! for reading the forum rules then you'll know much more of what you can learn here!

I guess this is what Susskind sets as homework o0)

Isn't he the guy that insisted an answer was incorrect even knowing that he himself gave incorrect information? I'm not saying I disagree with him, you fail for your own inability to conclude facts logically, not someone else's.

So are you still seeking answers or dissatisfied with what you found?
 

Related to Exploring What If: ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave

1. What is the significance of ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave?

ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave are two groundbreaking theories that aim to bridge the gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics, two fundamental theories in physics. ER = EPR proposes that entangled particles are connected by a wormhole, while Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave suggests that gravitational waves can also be described in terms of quantum mechanical states. These theories have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

2. How does ER = EPR relate to the theory of wormholes?

ER = EPR suggests that entangled particles are connected through a wormhole. This theory is based on the idea that space-time is not continuous, but rather made up of tiny "building blocks" called wormholes. These wormholes are theorized to connect distant points in space-time, allowing for instantaneous communication between particles that are entangled.

3. Can ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave be tested?

Currently, there is no experimental evidence to support ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave. However, scientists are actively working on ways to test these theories, such as using advanced technology to detect gravitational waves and studying entangled particles to see if they are connected through a wormhole.

4. How does ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave impact our understanding of the universe?

If these theories are proven to be true, they could have a profound impact on our understanding of the universe. They could help us reconcile the seemingly contradictory theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics, and potentially lead to new technologies and discoveries in the fields of space travel and communication.

5. Are there any potential criticisms of ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave?

As with any new scientific theory, there are always potential criticisms and limitations. Some scientists argue that ER = EPR and Gravitational Wave = Quantum Wave are too speculative and lack empirical evidence. Others suggest that these theories may not be compatible with other well-established theories, such as the laws of thermodynamics. However, until these theories can be tested and verified, it is difficult to fully assess their validity.
