Well, as tng knows via Facebook, a few months back I received a scholarship to take a course through The Resonance Foundation studying Unified Physics. Essentially, it's the study of how everything is connected. The scientist behind everything, Nassim Haramein, has discovered A LOT of incredible things.

Of these discoveries, quantum gravity and a grand unification theory has come arisen(as am_Unition) mentioned.

In Haramein's 2013 paper Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass he describes everything. However, because most consider this to be "above my paygrade," Nassim et al are coming out with a bunch of resources to help the layperson understand.

1. A paper by an associate on the geometry of spacetime

2. A documentary describing the mathematics that led to the quantum gravity paper.

3. Another documentary post-quantum gravity paper is in the works, and recently broke Inidigogo history as the highest crowdfunded documentary in Indiegogo history. Here's and interview with the director and Indigogo CEO and here's a trailer and little bit more information about the documentary and the paper coming out.

These is big. Very big. A lot of people haven't taken to it because it's so radical. Like am_Unition said, people have been working on quantum gravity for about 50 years, developing theories like the Higgs mechanism and spending A LOT of money on the Large Haldron Collider. The Higgs wasn't discovered. A particle that matched the predicted energy of the Higgs boson was observed and has yet to be replicated since the initial observation.

The truth is that the Standard Model is not cutting it. It requires 7-9 free parameters. The LHC works similar to smashing two jets together and looking at the pieces to see how the jets functioned before the collision. This new model works using fundamental mathematics and has been confirmed experimentally. I'm excited for when the world embraces this and sees what can be done with it. I haven't reached that part yet in the Unified Physics course, but I will definitely share when I get there.

kleinbl00, I think you'll enjoy checking out these links.
