We can't unite QM with GR because of what the Qfield is capable of

In summary: Thanks for understanding.In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of the quantum field having capabilities beyond what we currently know, such as superposition, entanglement, and tunneling. There is also speculation about the potential for unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity, but this is a complex subject and requires more specific references for discussion. Personal speculation is not allowed in this forum and posts should be supported by scientific literature.

TL;DR Summary
Do all of our problems uniting QM with GR have to do with what the quantum field is capable of?
I think it can do more than the wave only events we know of (superposition, entanglement, and tunneling).

If the quantum field doesn't care about spatial distance, does that mean every unobserved quantum wave is already everywhere throughout the quantum field? Does it explain spooky action at a distance and the delayed choice quantum eraser?
I think we are going to find the Quantum Field is a bit like the internet cloud. All Quantum waves have access to it.

Does a quantum wave, that is destined to decohere, behave differently than one that isn't?

Decay of Coherence is something that can happen to decoherent particles. Coherent matter-waves do not decay.

The reason decoherence can be predestined is because the quantum field is everywhere and already knows of the decoherece events.
Unobserved waves do not travel in spatial dimensions.

The delayed choice quantum eraser demonstrates a particle of a pair landing on its final panel first, knowing if it's entangled brother will decohere in its path.

Why do you think it doesn't?

:welcome:

You are new to posting here. You might not be aware that most personal speculation is not allowed. Further, you should provide a more specific reference (or more standard terminology) to enable someone to answer.

The possible unification of QM/QFT and GR is a very big subject. Many attempts have been made to unify them, certainly more than could be discussed in a single thread. Perhaps you might find a way to rephrase your questions into something that invites a more specific answer.

Cheers!

With that we will close this thread. Please be aware that interpretations questions belong in the interpretations sub forum, and that in that sub forum it is more important than most sections to have your posts be properly supported by the professional scientific literature
 

1. What is QM and GR?

QM refers to quantum mechanics, which is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at a very small scale, such as atoms and subatomic particles. GR stands for general relativity, which is a theory that explains the force of gravity and its effects on the large-scale structure of the universe.

2. Why can't QM and GR be united?

The main reason is that the two theories have different frameworks and mathematical descriptions. QM is based on probabilistic calculations and describes the behavior of particles at a microscopic level, while GR is based on the concept of spacetime and describes the behavior of gravity at a macroscopic level. These two theories have not yet been successfully combined into a single theory.

3. What is the Qfield and what is it capable of?

The Qfield, also known as the quantum field, is a theoretical concept in QM that describes the interactions of particles and their associated fields. It is capable of explaining many phenomena, such as the behavior of subatomic particles, the nature of forces, and the creation and annihilation of particles and antiparticles.

4. How does the Qfield affect the unification of QM and GR?

The Qfield is a crucial aspect of QM that plays a major role in the mathematical framework of the theory. However, it also poses challenges when trying to merge QM with GR. The mathematical equations of GR do not easily incorporate the concept of the Qfield, making it difficult to unite the two theories.

5. What are the implications of not being able to unite QM and GR?

The inability to combine QM and GR into a single theory has significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It means that we currently have two separate theories that cannot fully explain all aspects of the physical world. It also suggests that there may be gaps in our current understanding of fundamental physics, and more research is needed to bridge these two theories.
