Of all possibilties, is infinite, if any where where will the search for qg stop ?

Life-forms will usually study something until they figure out how to eat it, or cook with it, or use it as a weapon.
these generally turn out to be different kinds of burning.
this business with gravity is a classic case, wolram.
Lifeforms (whether human or not) will continue studying spacetime until they figure out how to burn it.
we have a long ways to go

My thoughts were more like, may be qg is unsolvable without including the
other unknowns, "what is mass", "what is energy", and that the bottom up
method is like attempting to jump several stages of learning. clumsy uneducated
thoughts i know.
QG stands for "quantum gravity" and it is a theoretical framework that aims to reconcile the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics. It is important to search for QG because it could potentially provide a more complete understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe, and could have significant implications for our understanding of space, time, and gravity.
There is no one set way to search for QG, and scientists use a variety of approaches and techniques. Some focus on theoretical models and mathematical calculations, while others conduct experiments and observations using advanced technologies such as particle accelerators and gravitational wave detectors.
It is not known if there is an end to the possibilities in the search for QG. As with any scientific endeavor, new discoveries and advancements can open up new avenues of research and lead to new possibilities. It is an ongoing and evolving field of study.
If QG is found, it could have significant implications for our understanding of the universe and could potentially lead to advancements in technology and our ability to manipulate gravity. It could also help solve some of the biggest mysteries in physics, such as the nature of black holes and the beginning of the universe.
At this point, it is difficult to say how close we are to finding QG. Some theories and experiments have shown promising results, but more research and experimentation is needed. It is a complex and challenging problem that may take many years, or even decades, to solve.
