RE: General relativity 101 - Gravitational waves in a nutshell
Wow, cool post and the meetup looks like it is going to be awesome too!
How do gravity waves operate at the quantum level? Wave is a particle, particle is a wave, thus gravity is a particle?
Newtonian physics starts to get weird at quantum levels so wondering what your thoughts are on how gravity works then?
Cheers and cool post.
Interesting to consider...
I wish we knew it. This is a full field of research today, and physicists are trying to understand how it is possible to quantize gravity.
My thoughts are the following: all the interactions are quantized. Therefore why no gravity? However, the way to understand how gravity could be quantized implies... a lot of work :)
To summarize, I am afraid that for now, I cannot answer your question.
Thanks for your thoughts on this!
Full agreement that if all interaction are quantized then gravity should as well. Wait and see or get out and develop the right experiments to test it...
Anyway, thanks for the frank response. My "gut feeling" is that understanding how gravity operates at quantum scales will provide insight into the theory of everything... cheers!
I agree with this. The question being: will we ever manage (in very few words, this demands to shake quite strongly quantum field theory to generalize it :p )
To answer your question: not sure...
Hopefully or likely AI can help!! Hahaha. Before it tries to take us out! Ever seen Black Mirror (the show)?
No one can be sure :)
I haven't seen the show (I even have no idea what it is about (will google it later)).
I am not too keen on TV or shows in general, but for some excellent science fiction and discussion about technology, AI, etc, Black Mirror is the way to go...

Black Mirror
Black Mirror is a British science fiction anthology television series created by Charlie Brooker, with Brooker and Annabel Jones serving as the programme showrunners. It examines modern society, particularly with regard to the unanticipated consequences of new technologies. Episodes are standalone, usually set in an alternative present or the near future, often with a dark and satirical tone, though some are more experimental and lighter.
The show premiered for two series on the British television channel Channel 4 on December 2011 and February 2013, respectively.
Wow thanks @wikitextbot. You are crazy fast.... a sign of the coming singularity?
PS. Basically what are your thoughts on quantum gravity and the graviton? Thanks (or is this a future post?)!
