Re: Quantum Gravity Via Expansion-Contraction 56.0: Quantum and GR Equations Don't Require Quantum/GR Theories

From Osher Doctorow mdoctorow@xxxxxxxxxxx

But if GR and QM and QFT are "wrong" or at least only fallible
approximations to Reality, then why do they keep "passing tests"?

Let's look at what tests they really should pass. It isn't enough to
pass a "million accurate digits" experimental test on one strange
scenario. The simplest test that they should all pass is for human
beings to be unable to accelerate above the alleged finite "speed of
light" c, and for nothing to be shrinkable to the Planck level's h or
length. And it is not enough for an earthbound observer to declare
that the person attempting to accelerate past c "has not even reached
c" (remember what falling toward black holes looks like from inside vs
outside). If human beings attempting to accelerate past c attain a
sizeable fraction of c but find themselves both decelerating and not
moving past various spatial milestones (planets, stars, interstellar
objects, etc.) sooner than expected in their own time framework, then
they may be somewhat justified in getting suspicious, although one
failure or even one century's technology has dubious reliability and
validity. Likewise for shrinking scenarios.

In fact, the "obligation" is arguably on the "other side" to prove that
Inflation's geometric superluminal expansion is consistent with the
speed of light's alleged finiteness. We already know that the Universe
expanded faster than c in Inflation (except for some holdouts who don't
believe in Inflation - maybe that will have to be the Mainstream's next
hatchet job). The Mainstream has to prove that if the Universe can do
that as a whole, then we can't, or even to prove that the Universe can
and we can't - both of which so lack intuition that a Nonconformist
civilization would arguably abandon such ideas immediately. By the
way, it's not enough to say that geometry differs from matter -
remember Einstein's Field Equations?
