Generalization Of Lorentz-Poincare Ether Theory To Quantum Gravity

I. Schmelzer

Abstract

We present a quantum theory of gravity which is in agreement with observation in the relativistic domain. The theory is not relativistic, but a Galilean invariant generalization of Lorentz-Poincare ether theory to quantum gravity. If we apply the methodological rule that the best available theory has to be preferred, we have to reject the relativistic paradigm and return to Galilean invariant ether theory.

  1. Where do space, time and gravity come from? 2 comments

    • The unification is a solved problem, as always it's simply that the solutions are ignored by the scientific community. see e.g. the first valid cannonical quantization of Gravity https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9706055.pdf GR and QM are fundamentally incompatible and will never be…

    • We have been done a disservice by being supplied a link to the PDF, rather than the abstract https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9706055v1 The pdf version is somehow showing a date in 2021, although this is clearly a 1997 preprint. SemanticStrength's reply to you also implies this was…

  2. Entanglement and superposition are equivalent concepts in any physical theory 1 comment

    • However, as underappreciated as it is, statistical theories are efficient maps, not territories. Quantum mechanics is a clever way to maximize knowledge and minimize unknowns but in all honesty it does not represent at all reality, only a knowledge map, and therefore famous…

  3. Ask HN: Teach me something new 1 comment

    • Most of the scientific problems (diseases, quantum gravity, etc) have been resolved, it's just that no one knows it. Because researchers are paid to produce new papers, but nobody is paid to extensively read the ocean of existing papers. Cancer? PNC-27 + thymalin Ageing? Skq1 +…
