Summary:: <mentor moved to general discussion> I mean of the discovery of the Graviton or of any other unification theory that would explain gravity and would be compatible with quantum mechanics. And by impact I don't necessarily mean just the understanding of the world - this is implicit - but the impact on engineering, transport, economy etc.
We all talk about how amazing it would be to finally elucidate the mystery of this fourth force, however, what would happen if someone finally found it? What would happen next?
Of course, much fuss, and tests, and tests again to confirm the theory (if available), but imagine they all confirm it and the theory is right. Would such a paper be worth publishing? Would it be the right time now? Would such a revolution be for good? I have dynamite in mind. It was first made to help people but something unexpected happened next. What would be the dangers of discovering gravity (or the graviton)?
