>Large extra dimensions is one thing expected to be detected at LHC
please, i've been hearing this drivel for over a decade. no extra dimensions found. and this isn't some mystery either. physicists have been calling it out for decades now. just let it go.

i'm not who you think i am. i'm one of the few on this board with a phd in theoretical high energy physics, and your dismissive tactics won't work on me. what's the PROOF aside from "it feels right, bro!"

in that same vein

>physics is in a similar situation when it comes to reconciling gr with qft.
Just stop. This post is about singularities and gr, and qft has absolutely nothing to do with it. the singularities in GR have nothing to do with unifications with QFT, and similarly singularities in QFT have nothing to do with GR.
>that a sufficient reformulated of qft that predicts gravity will resolve the issue
Yeah, so can my untestable claims about YHWH, but you don't see that idea getting millions of dollars in funding from the NSF.
>Whether that's string theory or super symmetry or whatever is what we should be discussing.
Just fucking stop dude. When people tried to fix classical EM by unifying it with gravity (see: geons), they were wrong. The fix to Newton's laws wasn't to unify it with other regimes of physics, it was to construct a NEW MODEL. The solution to the classical problems of EM weren't to unify it with gravity, the solution was to construct a NEW MODEL.

What you're trying to say is model X is faulty and model Y is faulty, so let's just smash them together and hope model XY is good. It's fucking retarded.

it's the only argument you string theorists deserve. you're basically cultists at this point. here, i'll let someone whom you actually respect shut you down instead

we model nature, we don't command it to behave a certain way. if gravity isn't quantum, then who the fuck cares?
