The Nature of Time
psi = graviton
The graviton is the wave function. The wave function is the graviton.
The graviton is the mathematical solution to the Schrodinger's equation. But physically, it's describing a trapped graviton.

This is unification of QM and GR in a nut shell. Gravitons exist. They expand from a point, at the speed of light. If they are captured by charges or particles, they become part of the quantum system and are identically what the wave function is describing. If they escape or avoid quantum systems, they expand at the speed of light, overlap, and become the spacetime continuum.
Unification occurs with the graviton.
Gravity propulsion drives occur using entangled photons.
"The graviton is the mathematical solution to the Schrodinger's equation."
no it's not. you're just throwing ideas out there instead of careful mathematical derivations based on what is already known.
The logic goes like this. Gravitons actually exist. They begin their existence as a point. They expand at the speed of light (which would explain why the speed of light is invariant). One of two things can happen to a graviton:
(1) it can expand forever, overlap with other gravitons, and become part of the spacetime continuum. Or,
(2) it can become captured by particles. If captured, the graviton has quantum states built into it. In the presence of a potential energy of a potential energy, the graviton will conform in the way that a wave function solution to the Schrodinger equation says it must.
The key to unification is that the graviton has quantum states for position, momentum, which gives it properties of space itself.
There is more to say, but that is the idea, if you're interested in discussing a way to unify QM with GR.
There is an experiment that can be performed, if you're interested.
I have to "throw ideas out there" because none of the "careful mathematical derivations" are leading anywhere.
We monitor duration elapsing when we are conscious. We often have a clock(s) within eye sight to accurately reference duration elapsing.
We usually have a clock with us when we sleep. An immediate question when we awake, is what time is it. We can not consciously monitor duration elapsing when we are asleep.
What we consciously experience is simply duration elapsing. We measure duration elapsing using the constant consistent rotational motion of the Earth.
Maybe if we're lucky, some day a young kid will come along and realize how quantum states are actually properties of spacetime (position, momentum, spin). Then such a kid will realize there is another option to the Einstein equations. This person will figure out that we can manipulate spacetime using entangled photons from lasers.
If the physics community was on the right track, we would have gravitational propulsion by now.
The problem with string theory, quantum loop gravity and all these other mathematically fancy ideas is that they don't actually behave like spacetime, the big bang or modern physics. Instead of moving science forward, these theories are painting us into a corner; worse still, there is no experiment that can prove or disprove these theories. At least with my expanding graviton theory, they actually act like established physics AND there is an experiment that can prove it.
Time dilation is the hint that time is tied directly to the speed of light. The smartest people in the physics community are working on string theory and loop gravity. But neither of those physics theories has ever stopped to consider the conundrum that the speed of light is invariant for all observers. That is why progress in physics is slowing down like a steam powered train that has run out of coal.
I get ignored because the physics community thinks that the laws of physics are made of string theory (wiggling spaghetti) or quantum loops (wiggling rubber bands). But I am arguing that spacetime is made of gravitons that expand from a point, at the speed of light. That gravitons have a geometry that is roughly spherical with volume V = 4/3 piR^3, where R = ct. I don't have to assume the existence of 11 dimensions, I have a graviton that creates spacetime itself. But what do I know? I'm just looking at quantum mechanics, general relativity and the big bang to figure out what they all have in common. What do I know?
You seem to be demonstrating loose association. Putting ideas together which have little if anything to do with each other. Saying a gravitation becomes space-time or a wave-function does not "cut the mustard".
I would say that you are overlooking the very clues that would lead us to a breakthrough in technology. But just remember, time dilation and length contraction occur because the speed of light is invariant. Something about the mechanisms that evolve time and procedure the dimensional quality of nature is tied to the speed of light. That's the clue.
Hi Georgina,
"You seem to be demonstrating loose association. Putting ideas together which have little if anything to do with each other. Saying a gravitation becomes space-time or a wave-function does not "cut the mustard". "
The physics community has been trying to figure out how quantum mechanics and gravity are unified. But when I offer an answer, you say I'm making loose associations. In truth, my idea about the graviton is based upon established physics. Do you remember the derivation of special relativity? The speed of light is invariant for all inertial reference frames. it's the same for the frame of the train (in Einstein's thought experiment) and is invariant for the train station as well. The geometry of both reference frames is tied to the speed of light in such a way that there are length contraction and time dilation effects. If my expanding graviton idea is right, then both the train and the train station are emitting expanding gravitons. Gravitons can have a velocity with respect to other gravitons, but since the gravitons are acting as both the measuring stick and the clock, then the speed of light expansion of the gravitons becomes the dominating effect. Gravitons expand at the speed of light and eventually fill all space. Superstrings and quantum loops do not fill all space. That is why I think that my expanding graviton idea is a better fit to the laws of physics than superstrings and quantum loops.
Since wave functions are solutions to ALL quantum mechanics systems, and there are momentum and position quantum states for ALL wave functions, then maybe it is just the case that ALL wave functions are just collections of momentum and position quantum states. My idea of unification of QM and GR is to say that gravitons expand at the speed of light UNLESS they are captured by charges and become a wave function. If that were the case, then gravitons are just collections of position and momentum quantum states. They can expand, overlap and become spacetime OR they can be captured by charges to become wave functions.
Another cool thing about my graviton idea is that it doesn't take an Antony Lisi or an Albert Einstein to figure out that if gravitons are behaving like wave functions AND spacetime, then gravitons are probably also behaving like quantum entanglements. You could literally use a laser and a crystal to entangle photons. Entangled photons have quantum states for position and momentum. You could use fiber optics and centrifugres to align those quantum states into a way to store gravitational potential energy.
The advantage of my idea over superstring theory and quantum loop gravity is that superstrings and quantum loops cannot be isolated and experimented on.
Cheers,

Q: How can Hubble or Webb see farther back in time than their constituent elements have existed? discuss
The speed of light is both a clock and a ruler. Speed of light c= wavelength (ruler) * frequency (clock). If gravitons expand at the speed of light, then they tell time and measure distance. Time is actually made of a near infinite number of gravitons that tell time.
Could it be otherwise?4
Many years ago, I learned a difficult truth to practice. I learned that results matter more than hard work. I have no doubt that creating mathematics for string theory and quantum loop gravity is hard work. But if it's wrong, then the benefits will be missing ( like they are now).
In contrast, if a theory is right, like my expanding graviton theory, then there will be great benefits. The theory will make sense, and there will be an experiment that can test it.
