The view that quantum gravity could substitute for the work of a creator is wishful thinking. Trying to bridge the chasm between quantum mechanics and relativity has not yet been achieved. The strings proposed in string theory are nowhere to be found. String theory is just another wishful thinking theory in scientific endeavors to validate a God workaround. Wasted days and wasted nights.
Gravitational waves are wrinkles in space, predicted by general relativity but not yet observed, caused by changes in very massive objects. Quantum gravity is an incompletely developed theory that strives to include general relativity, quantum mechanics, and unification of forces (thus, a TOE).
Quantum mechanics is incompatible with general relativity because, in quantum field theory, forces act locally through the exchange of well-defined quanta. There are four essential principles of quantum mechanics, proven experimentally and applied to nuclear particles’ behavior at small distances: the quanta of electromagnetic energy, the uncertainty principle, the Pauli exclusion principle, and the wave theory of particles of matter. Quantum mechanics explains how the universe works at a scale smaller than atoms. It is also called quantum physics. Quantum Mechanics is physics that explains how things move, and quantum is the Latin word for how much. Quantum mechanics describes how the particles that make up atoms work.
If time is accurate, then space is not, and vice versa. Time is an emergent phenomenon for internal observers but absent for external observers of the universe. The concept of time is simply an illusion made up of human memories; everything that has ever been and ever will be is happening right now. The laws of physics may not be as permanent as we think they are. The fact is that our understanding of time is incomplete.
Time is basically an illusion created by the mind to aid in our sense of temporal presence in the vast ocean of space. Without the neurons to create a virtual perception of the past and the future based on all our experiences, there is no actual existence of the past and the future.
