Quantum gravitation dead-end?

[O'Nero Samuel]

Why does it look like we've hit a dead-end at total comprehension when the solution of a quantum phenomenon lurks under gravity?

Why do I have the feeling that your rather meaningless, or at least incomprehensible, single sentence has the hidden agenda to promote your personal "theory" about quantum gravity?

You might consider elaborating a little.

I've thrown out GR, I even made a post here a while back, but got no replies. I have several reasons for believing it will not work, which I haven't even mentioned anywhere.

One reason is that you can't introduce degrees of freedom 'by hand', this happened in the electroweak interaction where when the W masses were introduced that way

they caused problems. I'll write something up in a while, it involves a simple form of potential, so it's back to potential theory. And I know ( unsupported speculation, not quite )

that gravity has 'more parts' and they are visible on the large scale, because I can see them in astronomy cataloges. That counts a lot for me.

 

So I look at it as 80 years of failed attempts to integrate GR with QM.

Timo I really wish I had a "pet" theory on quantum gravity, then I'd splash it all over speculation.

 

Ronald I see your point, so many maneuvre, and for the past 100years (added 20 if you dont mind) looks like we've been trying to prove science as we see it, not comprehend it as it really is.

 

You might consider elaborating a little.

Take for example, and this is one out of many, in the generation of mass in higgs field, conclusions are drawn more on the part of the electroweak force, the gravitation part is stiil in the dark. Correct me if I'm wrong; mass and gravitation are inseperable. And if they are, then the process of mass generation should elucidate the origin of gravitation dont you think?
