The First Draft of the Theory of Quantum Gravity

Today is a rather special day for me. I have finished the first draft of my manuscript on the reflective gravity as it relates to my experimental work on colloidal lignin particles. The draft is still quite rough and needs a lot of tender love and care to sort out the errors and inconsistencies. However, there is no need to add anything new, at least to the main text. The same cannot be said of the supplementary information, which still needs quite a bit of work.

The reason why I’m saying that I won’t add anything new, is the strict word limitation for papers to Nature. The length limit is about 4300 words. As it happens, this first rough draft has about 4200 words, which means that if I need to add anything new, I’ll need to take out something else. In some sense, I actually like this limitation. This forces me to distil the essence of the manuscript to its very basics. As Nature knows that a 4300 word limitation is often not enough to present all the theoretical and experimental work behind the main text, there is no limitation on the size of the supplementary information.

So, I’ve added this first draft here, more as a teaser than as something that’s supposed to be fully coherent and easy to understand to the reader. In creative writing, there is a well-known guideline: “You are going to have to allow yourself to write badly, or your ideas will die with you.” I think the same applies to writing anything truly novel. If you’re only writing a description of something that has been done following standard procedures and you’re just adding incremental knowledge to an already established field, this necessity of writing badly might not always apply. 

But if you’re really going to say something that will shake the foundations of established knowledge, you can’t assume that you’re able to express these new ideas perfectly in your first attempt. Rather, in your first draft, you test which ideas are even worth expressing and which ones you realize are too ill-defined for you to be able to express at all. Then you hack at the text until you’re confident that there’s nothing in the text that could be omitted without the main message of the text being diluted.

And this is the point where I’m at now. The text isn’t exactly good, but it holds everything that I want to say. Next, I need to start hacking at it and make it readable, at least to chemists and physicists, but hopefully to as wide an audience as possible.

So, here’s the manuscript in pdf form:

And be warned, it really is as bad as I say. The content is not inaccurate, but just hard to follow.

Also, to add a bit of color, here’s an image from the manuscript:

Nothing exactly new to people who’ve been reading my posts, but it’s the first time I combine the several images I’ve already shown to a slightly more coherent whole. However, the coherence does necessitate you to read the manuscript.

And finally, you might ask, why I title the post with the term “quantum gravity” instead of reflective gravity? Well, the reason is that quantum gravity is a term already used in the literature, whereas reflective gravity isn’t. Indeed, I don’t even mention quantum gravity in the manuscript at all. Rather, I propose that the interaction that I’m describing can be explained by the sum gravity, elastic collisions and other fundamental interactions. This way I don’t have to claim to have invented anything new, as fundamental interactions go. I just show that you also have to include elastic collision, where the sum-effect of all of these can be coined as steric drag.

And is steric drag a new interaction? Definitely not. It just elastic collisions with all other interactions included.
