Physicists Dodging The Quantum Gravity Question

Physicists Dodging The Quantum Gravity Question
gravity-memes, physics-memes, einstein-memes, quantum-memes, spacetime-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The perfect metaphor for theoretical physics progress! Over a century after Einstein revolutionized our understanding of gravity with general relativity (describing it as spacetime curvature rather than a force), physicists are STILL struggling to reconcile it with quantum mechanics. Just like someone deflecting deep questions about physics by pointing to stock market numbers, the field keeps dodging the quantum gravity problem. String theory? Loop quantum gravity? We've thrown brilliant minds at this for decades and basically still have Einstein's description plus a bunch of fancy math and zero experimental proof. The graviton remains as elusive as a consistent explanation from a politician!
