The Mathematics and Experimental Data Behind Quantum Gravity

Just two days ago I posted the first rough draft of the Theory of Quantum Gravity. Or its main text, to be precise. This main text can only be 4300 word at maximum to be publishable in Nature, with similar limitations in other top journals. This forced the main text to be a distilled version of the theory, leaving a lot of the heavy lifting out.

 

So, where does the heavy lifting go? Into the supplementary information, which can be in some Nature papers be quite gigantic. Well, I’ve been adding the final bits and bobs to the supplementary information these past few days and I’ve reached a point where its decent enough once again to be shown as a “bad first draft”. At the moment it’s only 24 pages + an appendix with only a title. It’s still missing the description of all of the experiments I refer to in the text, so it’s going to get longer still. However, I’m considering not adding anything else, because now it seems quite well-contained.

 

I would have so much more data and so much more theoretical text that I could add, but I don’t think any of it would make the manuscript better. Almost the opposite. At the moment I think I’m at a sweet spot where all of the theory serves the interpretation of the experimental data. Something that was completely missing from the first desk-rejected version, which I didn’t tie at all to my experiments, even though the theory got its inspiration from them.

 

This time I can offer a mathematical explanation why lignin spheres behave the way they do and how I can manipulate them to make things that other people can’t.

 

Again, just like in the main text I published two days ago, I warn that the text is still quite bad. Again, not incorrect, but still hard to follow. In the next few days/weeks I’m going to polish it an try to make it as good as I can. However, as it just the supplementary information, it doesn’t have to be as perfect as the main text, but I still want it to be a rather easy read, because it might be the text that’s going to be read more by other scientist who actually want to learn, whereas the main text will be more for the lay audience.

 

So, here is the first draft of the supplementary information on the Theory of Quantum gravity:

 

And as I don’t want to have post without a picture, here are some never-before-seen transmission electron microscope images of spheres exploding into hexagons. I bet you didn’t know that could happen…
