| Aug 23, 2020 at 5:23 | comment | added | anna v | @JirkaHanika that effective quantization of gravity works in first order, but when the fool toolkit of QFT is applied there are divergences of course not seen in real life.(as classical gravity works ). That is why a lot of theoretical physicists put their money andtheir work on string theories, which have quantization of gravity, but unfortunately no unique string theory has been found. Future high energy experiments might find supersummetry ( necessary for strings) and further constraints to lead to a theory of everything (strings embed the standard model which has the other three interac) | |
| Aug 22, 2020 at 16:27 | comment | added | Jirka Hanika | This answer makes me think that somebody already has a Theory of Everything, except that they usually ran out of time and of grant money whenever they tried to use it. What am I missing? Perhaps the fact that Theory of Everything isn't needed with the simplest and thus strongest pure gravity diagrams, but only a bit later in the enumeration where QED and gravitons start to appear in the very same diagram? | |

undid previous edit (made in error). Again, the lag.

| Aug 21, 2020 at 18:29 | comment | added | probably_someone | On the subject of ultra-cold neutron experiments, the UCN$\tau$ Collaboration is making a neutron lifetime measurement by putting ultra-cold neutrons in an open-topped bowl made of magnets. Gravity keeps them from spilling over, and the neutron magnetic dipole moment keeps them from falling through. | |

added a transitional sentence that I accidentally deleted in the OP (laggy internet).

| Aug 20, 2020 at 20:38 | comment | added | Deschele Schilder | Best answer! The only thing missing is the outcome of the cold neutron experiments in a gravitational field which showed a change in the wavefunction's phase. I didn't read the links though. | |
