Proving quantum mechanics and general relativity can never be unified

Because the incompatibility of quantum mechanics and general relativity has been proven to be fundamentally inherent
------------------------------------------------ by Bingcheng Zhao

Related knowledge: the ongoing effort of attempting to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity remains an area of active research in modern physics. The crucial incompatibility of quantum mechanics and general relativity, being widely recognized as one of the most fundamental problems in physics, is also the deepest disaster of modern physics (Ref., the encyclopedia of physics, Science Magazine, etc.).

Core reminding!!! Fact 1: quantum mechanics has been proven to be fundamentally, essentially and crucially wrong, utterly due to it unable to solve the fundamentally, essentially and crucially important problems in front of quantum physics (P. 346 ~ 359, 3.19, Ch.3E, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz75.blogspot.com/ ). Fact 2: general relativity has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong, literally due to it utterly skipping over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena via the “help” of a series of postulates and assumptions (P. 399 ~ 444, Ch.4A, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz74.blogspot.com/ ). These two proven thus undeniable facts will be tangibly helpful to digesting and accepting another proven fact: quantum mechanics and general relativity have been proven can never be unified at all ---- the central topic of 9.2, Ch.9A (P. 848 ~ 858, 9.2, Ch.9A, reference #2).

[*Two acronyms: (1) QM = quantum mechanics. (2) EPBGR = Einstein’s postulate-based general relativity (i.e., general relativity) ---- note, Einstein’s general relativity is based on a series of assumptions and postulates (e.g., the postulate of equivalence principle), so its real name should be Einstein’s postulate-based general relativity (EPBGR)].


Proving that quantum mechanics (QM) and Einstein’s postulate-based general relativity (EPBGR, i.e., general relativity) can never be unified (P. 848 ~ 858, 9.2, Ch.9A, reference #2). Because QM has been proven and demonstrated to be fundamentally, essentially and crucially wrong, utterly due to it unable to solve the fundamentally, essentially and crucially important problems in front of quantum physics (P. 346 ~ 359, 3.19, Ch.3E, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz75.blogspot.com/ ); because EPBGR has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong, literally due to it utterly skipping over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena via the “help” of a series of postulates and assumptions (P. 399 ~ 444, Ch.4A, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz74.blogspot.com/ ), QM and EPBGR are mechanistically thus essentially incompatible, i.e., the crucial incompatibility of QM and EPBGR is actually fundamentally inherent. Therefore, QM and EPBGR can never be unified. Consequently and naturally, any efforts and any theories attempting to unify QM and EPBGR have been and will be fruitless. In addition, multiple available clues and symptoms consistent with that QM and EPBGR cannot be unified have been provided and analyzed (P. 851 ~ 853, 9.2.2, Ch.9A, reference #2). <*> Related Q-and-A, Q1: why QM and EPBGR can never be unified? A1: because QM and EPBGR are mechanistically thus essentially incompatible (i.e., fundamentally incompatible). Q2: then why QM and EPBGR are mechanistically thus essentially incompatible? A2: because QM has been proven/demonstrated to be fundamentally, essentially and crucially wrong, and because EPBGR has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong.


The key to understanding of the proven fact that quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (i.e., EPBGR) can never be unified: (1) QM and EPBGR are based on different AHPs (AHPs = any of Assumptions or Hypotheses or Postulates), whereas it is actually impossible to discover and establish the relationships among the AHPs underlying QM and the AHPs underlying EPBGR. In other words, the prerequisite of unifying QM and EPBGR is to find out the relationships between the AHPs underlying QM and EPBGR; however, this prerequisite is utterly not reachable. (2) As long as you are familiar with the basic fact that QM never has the ability to solve the most fundamental problem in quantum physics, why there are quantum states, you will have no difficulty in digesting and accepting the proven fact that QM and EPBGR can never be unified. (3) As long as you are familiar with the basic fact that EPBGR never has the ability to solve the most fundamental problem in front of itself, why time and space are variable thus relative in gravitational field, you will have no difficulty in digesting and accepting the proven fact that QM and EPBGR can never be unified. (4) The reason why QM and EPBGR are inherently incompatible is into the essential depth of mechanism or cause, rather than on the superficial level of phenomena or effects.

Available clues can be helpful to digesting and accepting the proven fact that quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (i.e., EPBGR) can never be unified. Clue 1: in the era of postulate-based modern physics, a well-known also undeniable fact is that the wave-particle dual natures of light have not been and cannot be unified (P. 218, 2.7.1, Ch.2B, reference #1; P. 221, Q1 and A1, 2.7.3, Ch.2B, reference #1), i.e., within the paradigm of postulate-based modern physics, even the two different aspects (wave and particle aspects) of a same phenomenon (i.e., light) are factually incompatible thus actually contradictory with each other, let alone the different theories (e.g., QM and EPBGR) that deal with different phenomena. (Narrator: science has nothing to fear but fear wrong thinking way; wrong thinking way is the #1 enemy of science). <*> Related information: the wave-particle dual natures of light have been unified, with the newly established and verified mechanism-revealed physics (P. 218 ~ 222, 2.7, Ch.2B, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz11.blogspot.com/ ). Clue 2: Einstein failed to unify EPBGR and electromagnetism (P. 866 ~ 867, 9.4, Ch.9A, reference #2). Clue 3: EPBGR is factually incompatible thus actually contradictory with energy conservation law, being a well-known also undeniable fact even in the era of postulate-based modern physics, whereas it is clear that the prerequisite of unifying QM and EPBGR is that EPBGR has to be compatible with energy conservation law. Clue 4: the hypothesized quantum gravity has been proven does not and cannot exist at all (P. 872 ~ 879, 9.5, Ch.9B, reference #2; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bz38.blogspot.com/ ).

The catastrophic consequence of not accepting the proven fact that quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (i.e., EPBGR) can never be unified: more and more precious efforts and resources will continue to be wasted on definitely fruitless and never unsuccessful attempts of unifying QM and EPBGR.

What are the mechanistically profound implications of quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (i.e., EPBGR) turn out can never be unified? Any efforts to unify QM and EPBGR have been and will be fruitless; any theories trying to unify QM and EPBGR have been and will be unsuccessful; any efforts and theories attempting to unify QM and EPBGR turn out to be further steps wrong on already mechanistically thus essentially wrong track. Any theory, if it claims to have finished the unification of QM and EPBGR in the future, the theory must be either mechanistically thus essentially wrong or at least cannot be mechanistically thus essentially correct.
