A Simple Way to Reconcile Quantum Mechanics With Gravity
Warning: this is my own theory.
Quantum mechanics seems to be irreconcilable with gravity. However, there is a simple way to reconcile them. Instead of assuming that gravity bends space, suppose we assume that it bends quantum probabilities.

Throw away nonsense like the Big Bang. There, problem solved.

Re: A Simple Way to Reconcile Quantum Mechanics With Gravity
That actually would not solve it. The problem of reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity is much closer to home. It exists in any cosmology. Nevertheless, I have solved the problem.

Re: A Simple Way to Reconcile Quantum Mechanics With Gravity
No it does not exist in any cosmology. It exists in mainstream cosmology because it allows for situations in which mass can be compressed down to an infinitesimal point where so-called ‘quantum-gravitational’ effects have to be accounted for. Well, in the case of the Big Bang’s ‘singularity’ we can rule that out because the evidence tells us the Big Bang never happened.
Black holes stand slightly more chance of being real. This is because plasma cosmology accepts the standard explanation for star formation and evolution. It does provide an alternative explanation for the phenomenon said to be super-massive blackholes at the centre of galaxies, but so far as I know it does not rule out really massive stars collapsing under their own weight until a point of ‘singularity is reached’. However, the electric universe hypothesis does provide an alternative explanation of what stars are, how they work and why they change from one kind to another on the HR diagram. They do reject black holes AND the Big Bang and therefore have no need to come up with any explanation for ‘quantum gravity’.

That is not the only problem with reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity. The gravitational field close to a particle is also a problem due to the inverse square law. I have solved that.

Re: A Simple Way to Reconcile Quantum Mechanics With Gravity
If gravity bends chance, than your hypothesis will have it's measurable impact with Schrodinger's Cat, Wigner's Friend, and every gambler on earth. Roll the dice!

Re: A Simple Way to Reconcile Quantum Mechanics With Gravity
At that level of granularity, the effect would be extremely difficult to detect.
Suppose you drew a large circle on a piece of paper with a pencil. If you looked at the circle through a microscope, it would be impossible to detect that the trend of the carbon flecks on the paper were to form a circle.

Re: A Simple Way to Reconcile Quantum Mechanics With Gravity
The more I think about this, the more I am certain that it has to be correct.
If the path of a particle in space was observed, it would have to follow an arc described by gravity. However, quantum mechanics makes it impossible to do this except by collective deviations in its probabilistic behavior.
The proof of this theory already exists. Physicists just don't realize it yet.

No it isn’t. Gravity is such a weak force, you can easily overcome the gravitational pull of the entire Earth and pick up a feather. And a planet is obviously much, much, much, much...(and so on)...MUCH more massive some infinitesimal particle. The only ‘particles’ for which gravity would be anything other than totally insignificant would be those hypothetical singularities which somehow crush universes or supermassive stars into points of zero radius.
You certainly belong among the Big Bang cosmologists. Prior to this BS field of study, a scientific hypotesis had to be verified by thousands of experiments and show many practical applications in technologies before it was elevated to the status of a theory. Newton’s laws of gravity, Maxwell’s laws of electromagnetism, the pioneers of quantum physics, they all fall into this category.
But things changed with Einstein, whose general relativity was elevated to the status of a theory on the basis of just two observational correspondences. Just two! In this case, we subsequently proved it was an accurate model of gravity, but it started a precedence in cosmology where pure speculation without minimal if any verification and in some cases no hope of ever being falsified is instantly elevated to the status of ‘theory’.
Your ‘theory’ is like that. One post you tell us you tell us you have a hypothesis that seems to solve some problem in astrophysics, next post you tell us it’s an explanation that stands alongside Newton and Darwin’s, scientific theories rightly called such as they have stood the test of time (within the areas they are applicable) for centuries!

Re: A Simple Way to Reconcile Quantum Mechanics With Gravity
So what is in it for us, if we say hooray for Plasma cosmology, Ex? How does this help us? On the other hand how does the quantum assist?
With quantum, we achieve quantum computing which supposedly solves oodles of previously unsolvable problems. I would, had I control of the purse strings, be apply computer tech like QC to tackle every health issue. Fortunately, I am merely an Yank serf, with no influence, and a very poor dancer.
There was a German team of physicists who started working in a quantum tunneling laser system for nuclear fusion, and I lost interest because of Covid, and the coming US dissolution here. The laser quantum thing id it worked would surely be a connection between plasma and the quantum.
