Part 6/9:
For him, torsion is not an irrelevant bystander but rather a potentially vital component that can inform our understanding of gravity and unify the separate realms of particle physics and cosmology.
The Challenge of Quantum Gravity
Weinstein argues that the quest for quantum gravity has been framed as a "holy grail" within physics, though he argues it may not possess intrinsic value. He asserts that this fervent focus has diverted attention from more promising avenues, such as his geometric unity framework. His critique of established physicists is pointed: perhaps the likes of Ed Witten and others have led the community astray, becoming fixated on problems that have not yielded productive results.
