I really don't see the point in these theories being combined into one. Can anyone explain very simply the point of doing so ? 

As far as I understand the kinds of predictions made with QM regard something altogether different from gravitation. Maybe I'm wrong ?

QM/QED/QFT predictions are incorrect in strong enough gravity.

For many scenarios in physics, either QM effects,
either GR effects ( or both ) can be neglected.
But for some others, neither of them can be neglected,
like for very early universe, or black hole radiation.

GR cannot describe quantum effects, QM is not GR aware.

QM is (harmonics , nodes , Anti-nodes , time dilation & Velocity)

GR is (Gravity , accelleration, time dilation & space  ) .. No (nodes / anti-nodes) in GR. 

Until space time itself is Quantatized, QM & GR won't unify.   

It is Necessary to know Geometry of the Aether so the nodes can be aligned to fit GR

No Such Thing as a Graviton

No such force as Gravity

Gravity is simply the alteration of the position of matter in space time 

Gravity is accelleration

The point is, that QM is based on one single fixed 'axis of time', while 
GR is not.

'Strong gravity' is equivalent to 'curved timelines', what QM does not like.

Next difference is, that QM deals with very small items in close 
proximity to the observer and GR with very large structures.

QM is mainly about matter (particles and fields), while GR is about 
space and time.

To solve the problem I had the idea to make matter 'relative'. So matter 
in one FoR is not matter in another (moving in relative motion).

Also time is treated similar to space and we have three orthogonal axis 
of time.

Sounds quite counter-intuitive, but works very well (as far as I can tell).

I have written kind of 'book' about it. Actually it was derived from a 
collection of posts into the UseNet, where I added additional text and 
some illustrations. You find that here:

https://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dd8jz2tx_3gfzvqgd6


The concept is called 'structured spacetime'. I simply took the 
spacetime of GR and 'built' particles out of that.

I assume, that spacetime is real and consists of something similar to a 
point, what I call 'elements'. Those twist each other in a special way. 
So an atom is actually a 'standing rotation wave'. 'h' is interpreted as 
angular momentum and quantisation as caused by the requirement of such 
waves to fit together to a 'timelike stable structure' (->matter).

('Triality' is the name of the Dynkins diagram of the rotation-group SO3.)

I try to explain this idea by reinterpretation of the photoelectric 
effect with a simplified picture.

Goes like this:

it is based on relativity and a certain diagram, invented by Herman 
Minkowski.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/World_line.svg/300px-World_line.svg.png

There we have a 'light-cone', an axis of time and a hyperplane called 
'present'.

this hyperplane is (of course) co-moving with the observer and the 
observer is actually the point, where future and past light-cone touch.

An angle in this diagram represents a velocity and c is represented by 45°.

Now the realm of QM is actually the point called 'observer' and its 
close proximity.

Now we allow a spectrum of velocity from zero to infinity. We know, that 
infinite velocity would look static and creates tiny circles about the 
hyperplane of the present.

The axis of time is orthogonal to that plane and behaves like a normal 
vector to a rotation about this plane.

If we combine both, we have both aspects of an atom: a static field, 
surrounding a massive core.

If we would turn this 'atom' sideways, we would actually accelerate it, 
hence this static field would cut through the hyperplane of the present 
and would not look static any more.

These wobbles are regarded as waves, hence radiate away (with c).

The remainder is then an ion, (since the rays are missing).

If these rays hit something, the rays turn into electrons again.

If we turn an atom entirely into a different direction, it would look 
like rays, but these would not radiate away.

Actually the atom pops out of existence, if the axis of stability is 
beyond the light cone.

If we turn the axis of time into the direction of stability of such an 
atom, it's material matter again, associated with it's own space, in 
which it is a material  object.

Now many of these timeline form 'time domains', which are all real 
worlds (as is our world). Only the direction of time is different.

This 'turning of the timeline' is now, what relativity does and what QM 
does not allow.

To decide, who is right, it is possible to try to create matter out of 
nothing.

'Big-bang' is actually 'matter from nothing'. But less spectacular 
examples would do. I personally think, that it is possible to create 
dust inside a seal container of clear plastic by something like pulsed 
microwaves.

Another example would be 'Growing Earth' (what I try to prove for this 
reason).

The other three interactions, electromagnetic, weak, and strong, are all 
known to be in their best form (accuracy of predictions, remember, is 
the measure of a theory) in quantum field form. There is the thought, 
then, that gravity probably is of similar character, but we just don't 
know how to do it yet.

Sure: the world works (i.e. in every regime that occurs in the world, at every 
scale, nature behaves in some manner).

At present we don't have a theory that describes how nature works at every scale 
-- QM describes how nature works at small scales, and GR describes how nature 
works at large scales, but in between they are incompatible. As nature works at 
these intermediate scales, there must be some theory that describes it; 
presumably it is some sort of "combination" of QM and GR, but that is just a 
guess, as it could be something else altogether (and the current major research 
efforts are indeed something else: string theory and loop quantum gravity).

I still don't really get the point. As far as I can tell, any quantum field theory could only really be used to explain particles and their 'local' interactions with some probability density describing non-local interactions. 

Looking at something like GR, which seems to describe an emergent decoherence of large numbers of these interactions, what we seem to have is two very different types of theory, (one which attempts to explain fundamental particle interactions at the small scale, and the other which approximates these to a much broader context). 

Take a biological analogy for example. Where a QFT would be describing say a number of individual organisms, and their interactions, GR describes the environmental conditions for which the behavior of the parts emerge en mass. 

I just don't see the need or a purpose here for a multitool, other than say clerical convenience. Such clerical convenience seems to be what string theory attempts, or LQG, the outcomes of which do not seem to be satisfactory theories in any scientific sense, but things that maybe useful in some 'clerical' framework in order to organise all other frameworks. It's no wonder therefore that either of these attempts do not provide any unique predictions.

What is difficult on understanding the desire of physicists
to have a physical model
considering quantum effects in nonflat spacetime ?

Well this is precisely my point. Again and again when I come to understand and picture what each of the theories attempts, there seems to be again and again, the same recurring pattern of inconsistency between fundamental parts (like particles), and what these things entail when behaving as groups (i.e. waves, or the spacetime curvature). 

This is what brought me to my most recent experiment, where I demonstrate just how simply, even classical bodies, objects, can behave as waves, when a large number of them are 1. subject to disturbances, or 2. distribute according to some initial conditions.

In addition (of course) in order to achieve that clerical convenience, authors of these theories have made bizarre ontological claims - like the existence of 1 dimensional strings etc or dark energy. It just seems history repeating. I imagine eventually someone like Einstein will come along and say "we don't need to think of these strings as existing in any form, or for Dark energy to exist in any form - it is sufficient to simply say that the theory makes accurate predictions combining those made by QFT and GR into the one clerical convenience).

Well, in a way you're right. Quantum field theory describes things at a 
particle level and in the domain where Planck's constant is not 
negligible, and general relativity describes things at a more macro 
level with large objects and mass interactions.

However, there is also a strong desire on the part of physicists to find 
*more fundamental* explanations. As an example of this, you can do an 
enormous amount with thermodynamics of gases without ever even 
acknowledging the molecular nature of gases. But it was of tremendous 
value to show how the kinetic theory of thermodynamics explains at a 
deeper level what pressure is due to, what entropy means in terms of 
microstates, and so on. In this sense, though you don't have to use 
kinetic theory to make a good number of useful predictions, it is 
understood by scientists that the kinetic theory is more fundamental.

In the same way, there are macroscopic laws of electrodynamics. And 
what's fascinating is that you can show where all those collective 
behaviors come from, by referring to the microscopic QFT called quantum 
electrodynamics. That is, there is nothing in the macroscopic, 
collective theory of electromagnetism that isn't accounted for in QED. 
While this is true in principle and demonstrable, this doesn't mean that 
all electromagnetic analyses are done with QED. On the contrary, in many 
cases it's useful to use the "continuum approximation" or "bulk behavior 
approximation" to do those calculations, and then you're using a non-QFT 
approach even if the underlying reality is quantum.

There's an identical program being pursued for gravity, to find the 
underlying quantum mechanical theory that, at large scales, reduces to 
general relativity in approximation.

Take a look at this of Dr Hajdukovic. 

where mg + -mg = 0 represents a gravitational dipole. Just brilliant! Here, we might find just exactly a quantum reason for gravitational repulsion and do away with dark energy completely! I would of course, still be maintaining the hypothesis that gravitational bodies absorb weaker electromagnetic energies, to the gravitational centre, which would allow the dipoles to be aligned in the first place.

I would like to see, however, this done in conjunction with the null geodesic with GR (to which these dipoles are aligned) for a QFT conforming to GR geometry. But mostly I'm eager to see the results of the produced antimatter in freefall which as I understand it are being tested; so even more wonderful a test for this unique prediction ! Dr Hajdukovic could very well be our next Einstein. 

Ok, so to me, this DOES give us a nice unique prediction of a QFT solving many of the problems of Standard model, GR and even beautifully Newtonian gravity.

The bar above the second m_g in the author's equation does not mean minus.

If there is a connection between QM and GR, this would not necessarily 
mean, they are connected in the way you think they are.

It's really bad practise to anticipate the outcome of future experiments 
and derive from such possible results, what we hope to find.

There is actually no guarantee, such future experiments will behave as 
expected and eventually things turn out to be very different than we think.

So 'quantum gravity' is a possibility, but by no means a must.

I personally assume, that the standard model of QM is wrong - mainly 
because I think, the idea of particles itself is wrong.

But what do you think about my proposal to create particles out of 
spacetime? This would also be a connection, but would connect QM  from 
the GR side (and not from QM to GR, as you assume).

Completely agree!

Well, that depends on what you think "particles" entails. To most 
physicists these days that translates into a quantum field, which is 
much, much different than the classical notion of a particle.

But to your earlier comment, the faith in a model is directly tied to 
how well it matches between expected and observed experimental results. 
And on that front, the standard model of quantum fields is spectacularly 
successful. There have been some quantities where the match is down to 
the 12th decimal place, which is just about unprecedented anywhere else.

I don't think physicists are going from QM to GR. Usually, they are 
going from GR to QM (or more accurately, to QFT).

My personal assumption is, that particles are not really things, but 
just specific aspects of an undivided 'real thing'.

This 'real thing' I call 'spacetime' , (but 'quantum-field' or 'mumble' 
would serve the same purpose.)

E.g. an electron represents a certain state, which has a potential and 
behaves as static field, while a proton has the opposite behaviour and 
has mass (inertia).

In my own model this is 'one piece'. It is actually a rotation wave, 
which has a certain form, because angular momentum is conserved.

So ingoing rotation speeds up and outgoing stops at a certain distance 
from the core, hence has a potential (to go inwards again).

What rotates is actually nothing, that has split into two components. 
That is similar to split zero into positive numbers and negative numbers.

But the connections between such 'elements of spacetime' is similar to 
how quaternions are multiplied, which is a rotation.

This has two components, which multiply to nothing (left-handed and 
right-handed).

Now our world is one of these parts and the negative we cannot see. So 
we inhabit the left-handed part of a gigantic fractal-like 'real-thing', 
from which we can only perceive certain aspects.

The things we see and how they interact are not really independent, but 
are certain aspects of something very large.

Matter is - in this picture- a 'timelike stable pattern', while fields 
are, what we assume to be the cause of the movement of material objects. 
Only this not really true, but our own interpretations of what we see.

But there is a possibility to estimate, how this 'real thing' functions.

My assumption is, that actually bi-quaternions behave in the way I 
assume this 'real thing' would function.

Bi-quaternions are also called 'complex four-vectors'.

So the question is, how to build spacetime (or 'quantum-field', if you 
prefer that) as kind of mathematical field of complex numbers.

This is in fact possible. E.g. a spacetime diagram has similar structure 
as an Argand Diagram.

Now the complex plane is flat and space(time) is not. So we need three 
orthogonal complex plains and a space, that has three orthogonal axis of 
type 'time'.

The rotations within such a space build a group called SO3 and from such 
rotations particles and fields could be derived.

This is till now my own idea, that I call 'structured spacetime'.

I have also written kind of book about it, (that nobody wanted to read):

https://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dd8jz2tx_3gfzvqgd6

This aspect was slightly disappointing, so a spent my time with other 
things (rather then physics).

This seem to be correct, since my own approach is just that.

Well, that's all fine and a pet metaphysical hypothesis of yours. This 
doesn't change these facts:
1. Modern physics describes things as quantum fields, not as classical 
particles.
2. The theory of quantum fields has enormous success at QUANTITATIVE, 
ACCURATE prediction of measurable phenomena.
3. These metrics of quantitative, accurate prediction of measurable 
phenomena are THE measures of validity of a scientific theory. Any other 
idea that does not meet these criteria is considered either 
scientifically inferior or scientifically irrelevant.

Not sure why you think of "spacetime" and "quantum field" as being the 
same thing.

I think the point was that if you had read up a little on what 
scientists were ACTUALLY doing, you wouldn't have so casually 
mischaracterized it.
