The gauge bosons of the standard model of particle physics are responsible for 3 of the 4 known forces in the universe. A force is conferred is through the exchange of virtual bosons. So for example in electromagnetism, an exchange of virtual photons results in an exchange of momentum which results in two like charges repelling each other.
Gravity is missing from this picture because in General relativity, gravity is not a force, but is a curvature of space-time. The problem is that stars and planets are made of molecules, atoms and radiation. And the forces that hold the atoms together are due to discrete units of virtual particles. It is the exchange or swapping of these virtual bosons that holds or breaks up atoms and molecules.
Quantum mechanics conflicts with general relativity, because QM treats every thing as being discrete, and GR treats everything as being continuous. We need a theory that combines the two because we live in one reality, not two different realities.
This is why most physicists believe General relativity is incomplete. Why can’t quantum mechanics be the one that is incomplete?
Of the 4 fundamental forces, 3 have very robust quantum mechanical theories. Only gravity lacks a quantum description. Quantum mechanics also has almost all of classical physics within in its limits. Classical physics like general relativity, does not have quantum effects. We have learned is that Quantum physics is the fundamental language of reality.
One way to quantize gravity is to quantize space-time itself. This is what loop quantum gravity or LQG does. It shows that the fabric of space-time is not continuous, but is made up of discrete quanta, like the pixels on a TV screen. This is different than string theory, because in string theory, space is the background or the canvas, on which strings vibrate.
This means that distance has a minimum quantity of 10^-35 m. Area has a minimum value of 10^-70 m^2, and volume has a minimum value of 10^-105 m^3 - below which it cannot go. Time also has a minimum quantity of 10^-43 seconds, or about Planck time.
Space time is made up for finite loops with nodes connecting them. The nodes is where the quanta volumes of space reside. It has a volume that is a multiple of 10^-99 cm^3. The loops in between the nodes represent 2 dimensional areas. Large quantities of loops and nodes are called “spin networks.” Space is defined by the geometry of this spin network. Time is defined by the movement of this spin network. The spin network and quantum movements of time, is called a spin foam. Time ticks like a digital clock with each tick being 10^-43 secs.
When mass and energy are added to this spin foam, the shape of the volumes of the spin network is distorted, distorting space and time. This distortion is what we perceive as gravity.
LQG makes a testable prediction that photons of higher energy travel slightly slower than low-energy photons. But this has not been observed.
A second way to quantize gravity is to theorize a completely new mathematical framework of reality based on a new understanding of fundamental particles. This is string theory. It replaces the fundamental particles with one dimensional fiber-like strings.
Different vibrations of strings behave just like the elementary particles of the standard model. But the biggest problems is that these strings would need to vibrate not just in the 3 dimensions, but in at least 6 more spatial dimensions in order to mathematically account for the various particles.
It does't appear that additional large dimensions in our universe exist, so physicists think that these dimensions could be very small and hidden from our perceptions.
If you treat the universe as strings vibrating in 9 dimensions, a particular closed string vibration results in a graviton particle. So this would allow for the existence of a force-carrying particle for gravity just like the other 3 three forces.
#quantumgravity
#loopquantumgravity
#stringtheory
The promise of string theory is that all the fundamental constants, and properties of particles could come out of it. But 9 spatial dimensions is a problem. Another problem is that it requires the existence of super symmetry, where each particle has a shadow partner particle with different masses. No such supersymmetric particles have been found at the LHC. - Věda a technologie
Guys...let me know what you think of the sound on this video. We tried some new sounds and sound engineering on here. I would appreciate your honest feedback. Love it, like it, don't like it, hate it? Your constructive criticism is helpful, so we can continue to improve on future videos. Thank you.
Sounds just was great and Cristal clearly for me. In this video, the music was more clearly than the other videos. Especially in the middle of the video, music actually touched me (I wanted to say it, even before you asked. I thought it's just for me. But you said that you try to improve the sounds).
The explanation as well as sound design was perfect!!!
No comments on sounds... explanations were great
Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and really appreciate your clear/concise explanations. I feel it has the right amount of detail so as to not overwhelm the non physics major yet enough of it for someone who would be interested in learning about the very universe we're living in.
Hi Arvin, I strongly disliked the music on this video, it made the explanations much more difficult to understand as I was focussing on the music rather than your voice. Please remove the background music completely, I can't understand why you would think it adds anything to the video as it's very distracting.
The content, script and animations of the video were excellent as always.
I just hope we get to see this get solved within our lifetimes. And of course, great video!
I hope so too!
Why don't do we try to solve beside to just hope someone else solve

Lmao, I typed in “Einstein gravitational theory” and found your video on it, was blown away and watched it multiple times and had utterly mind-blowing epiphanies at having it explained so clearly. By the end of the video you had me dying to know more about Quantum Gravity - but I suddenly remembered string theory, something I’d heard about years ago, and wanted to see if the two were connected.

I have been struggling with my health since middle school, I am unable to go to college right now and I appreciate the time put into these videos so I can still learn despite my health issues. THANK YOU
Hi Katelyn. Feel better. Prayers for you. You can keep learning even though you're not going to college.

”A one dimensional string ...”
Ugh, uh, how can a string have just
“... vibrating in at least 9 dimensions”
Beer. I need beer!
because its a line not a plane. :P
but penrose puts it you need the extra dimensions so the strings can intersect, overlap and curl up, if they were in 1 dimension or less than 4 or 5 i forget off the top of my head, they would not be able to so the extra dimensions the strings exist in allow it.
C-shaped strings joining together create o-shaped strings. Now you can move from 3d space into multiverse. Space-time is not flat, but like bubble wrap upon bubble wrap.
Each beer adds another dimension. You need 9 beer to vibrate like a one dimensional string in 9 dimensions. With a partner, you enter into the realm of closed strings.
Beer. I need beer!
@@scottmiller4295 , thanks miles, obviously! I started on those beers too soon I think. I don’t know what I was thinking. Of course a line is one dimensional.
I have heard all those conversations in TBBT, from Sheldon Cooper.
I was so glad this showed up in my recommended now I feel smarter
When my YT algorithm fills with vlogs and comedy videos, I watch some Arthur Ashe and Lex Fridman to redirect my recommended vids
I went from -F to a whole F 🤔
I follow a lot of channels talking about physics, most of them having millions of followers, yet your videos speak to me and everytime I watch one of them, I learn something new that sticks in my head and becomes My Reality. Thank you Arvin !
Very clear and understandable! In a nutshell and without the math (though mathematical formulae show up, even the complete Lagrangian of the standard model!) the basics of the two theories, and their differences, are presented in a way that makes one understand the Nature of both. Quantum loop gravity even more than string theory. Thumbs up!
This video is the most overarching and in-depth science video I've ever seen. I constantly had to rewind to make sure I absorbed everything. Magnificent job! ⚛︎
I guess we all do the rewinding now and then... 😉
Thank you so much Arvin Ash, this is an amazing explanation video. You explain it in such a simple way and use pictures to help me visualise it. I tried PBS space time but they are too complex and they dont explain it simply enough but you do, thank you.
Hi arvin , started watching your videos few days back now i can't stop myself watching
Well, that sounds like a good thing! Welcome.
@@ArvinAsh still binge watching too haha thx
Mr Ash I love this video it is exactly what i was thinking. Thank you for answering my question that i asked on one of you videos recently in this video.
Thank you again!
Loved it! Each video is better than the last. Thank you for taking the complex concepts of string theory and condensing them into a simple explanation and showing how the theory aligns with the standard model. Your work is incredibly helpful and much appreciated. Keep it up!

This guy should get a full documentary series on the tv. I watch all his videos. He has a gift for teaching and his smile is infectious. I specifically enjoy how the information presented is not biased nor opinionated. Great content great channel. Thank you.
Dear Arvin.
Thank you for your amazing way of explaining so complex things in a understandable way. Maybe the background sound could be a little lower, but your visualization of complexity is phenomenal.
Mind blowing simple explanation. The same kind feel I got in each and every lecture of Dr. V. Balakrishnan sir( IITM). Great, go ahead
You're great at explaining! Makes me think that I have a chance at one day actually understanding these things fully. Love the work.
Thank you for making CZcams a better place!
A compliment often repeated, yet your channel fully deserves it!
One of the best introductions to why our reality is mind blowing. Can't squeeze all that stuff into a short video but enough to touch on the main points. Relativity, quantum physics and the far out theories trying to reconcile them. I like the explanation of string theory.
I must be made of quantum strings since my wife says I'm one dimensional
You're still ok...my wife says my 3-dimensional penis is too short, whether she measures it or not.
No you have some hidden dimensions too...ie 10 hidden
The penis may have 3 dimensions but the effectiveness is greatly diminished if 2 of them are wrapped up within themselves 😁
Hilarious...!
@@edzanjero353 You are lucky: I need to roll it so around my waist.
Very cool explanation of loop quantum gravity, I've listened to a lot of videos on that topic, but this is the first time I heard it explained so straightforward and understandable!
With that in mind, could you make a video on just LQG? Would love to hear more details about it from you
I have read but mostly watched so many videos about these theories and in general i understand them as a concert, yet struggle to keep up in some way. Never the less i keep watching 😁. Thank you for the educational video
Wow. I loved this! Arvin you should get a prize for popularizing science!! The most complicated theories presented in such an approachable way. Truly impressive, you’re my hero man🙏🏼👍🏻👏🏼
Wow, thanks!
Sir,the sound effect in this viedeo is fasinating and have different dimentions.thanks for the lovely efforts ,thanks to the sound engineer also.it is fantatastic to hear nature ,secretes with your clear explanation along with the lovely misitical hevenly musical sound.
What a wonderful channel 🥰. Thanx for these quality content 🙏🏻
You keep impressing me with being able to give laymen explantion in 15 min of extremely complex subjects.
Thanks for a great upload
Very well explained ! All told, the video was excellent (sound was fine). Thankyou !
I haven't even started watching this video, ad's playing, but I am pretty sure, this is gonna go above my head
Y'all are fantastic at this. Glad I found this channel. Love your work, Arvin.
I wish I could see a collaboration between you and Matt O'Dowd from PBS Spacetime, somehow. Perhaps a pass-off video where y'all split the video halfway, each discussing a phenomenon/problem from a different perspective. (Could even be filmed remotely.)
Excellent summary of both theories! Thank you Arvin!
As a subscriber to numerous physics/physical science/cosmology/whatever channels, I find yours to be one of the most lucid, understandable, and succinct yet comprehensive channels on RubeTube.
I think advanced research on black holes can provide us with some solid evidences of either of the two theories. The amount of gravitational fluctuations around primordial black holes is massive and these fluctuations can unfold major secrets. The gravitational fluctuations can be detected as disturbances in the speed of light which can unveil something about Loop Quantum Gravity. On the other hand the space around the singularity can provide us something interesting about string theory.
Let's hope we unravel this mystery soon.
Well that's an optimistic take, if I ever heard one :D
This is pure gold. Very logical and nicely presented content.
That animation of bosons getting exchanged analogous to the people on the boats was awesome. A very nice perspective to understand attraction and repulsion, caused by exchange of bosons.
Similarly for Loop Quantum Gravity the animation was excellent. These things create a perspective which is hard to get just by reading. With this, when the maths behind it is studied will help bolster the understanding for young people and enthusiasts.
A great service to Science
Yeah..
Excellent simple but deep discussion to the conflict between both theories. Thank you for your great efforts.
Wow. Fantastic video. Can't wait to watch more. This was so helpful. Thank you.
You have explained in best way
Brief and excellent explaination Sir
Thank you💕
WOWEE, an Arvin video, Sabine video and Veritasium video all in the same hour! It must be my lucky day!
Me too i added the 3 to fav to watch them latenight 🤣🍿🥤
hey can you check one video from Science Clic English
They also explain dope, but highly underrated
Amazing stuff ❤❤. I will watch all your videos soon
Superbly well explained! All the right questions. I successfully derived the centripetal a = v^2/r from no more than the notions of Planck length & time from quantum loop theory and energy density that General Relativity's equation includes. Knowing next to nothing about any of these, I overly simplified.
An *Even-handed* Summery!
This is a rare 🐦. Well Done!
This has been the absolute best explanation so far
Been watching physics videos for many years, that was some of the best explanations I've ever heard and I learned stuff. Thank you
At uni, I came up with the postulate that the expansion is not universal but happens in discreet areas. Like bubbles of space expanding.
Thay would mean they collide and the colliding parts would have different relative speeds.
If the relative speeds reach certain %ages of the speed of light, the place where the "collision" occurs will be subject to time dilation and space contraction. I.e. tiny, "permanent" areas of space will manifest. We interact with these as "particles".
So, a particle is actually just a part of space that exists on a different level to the rest of space.
This explains why things appear "quantised".
If you look at deep-seated images, you can see galaxies form at the edges of voids of space.
Just an idea. I was never good enough at the math to calculate spherical and vortex phenomena in actual equations.
One of the best science educators of our time. I hope for big things for you.
@Arvin Ash Probably one of the best videos in physics on youtube. I have no background in physics but your videos and the animation make complex theories so simple and easy to understand. Kudos on another great video. Can't wait for the next one. Btw can you make a video on the holographic principle and how it conservation of information on black hole, and if it is related in any way to the quantum gravity or string theory? Thanks
Thanks for your kind words. I made a video a while back on holographic principle. If you search on youtube for "holographic principle arvin ash" you will see it.
CZcams says this is the last video I'll ever see without removing ad block. I guess this is good bye. You've consistently done a great job explaining the meat of concepts without dancing around them or injecting inaccuracy that just confuses people like some other science communicators. Thank you for that.
Amazing summary. Keep up the good work!
The richness of details along with the amazing clarity with which you present this information to us in your videos is, I think, unparalleled on CZcams.
Keep up the good work, Arvin!
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words!
I find Science Asylum pretty good as well
The fact that I'm 11 and I understand this almost perfectly goes to show how good your videos are.

Excellent research and video Arvin. Scientists are very close to linking gravity with quantum mechanics.
Understanding the small (lower) extra dimensions of the quantum realm within the fabric of space will lead to discovering wormholes and the inside of black holes, how they function and to where they lead. 👍
Excellent work sir. Thank you. Great video on Quantum Loop gravity
This was an outstanding video. You explained why it's difficult to reconcile quantum theory with general relativity, and you explained loop quantum gravity and string theory, and how they attempt to solve the problem, and you did it all in a way that was easy to understand. Impressive.
I was just thinking: I wish Arvin had a video explaining loop quantum gravity. And here it is, you are a wizard Arvin.

Thanks, A.A. for a clear and informative video. It is just my opinion, the thing that is fundamental to our spacetime is the galactic plasma, which can be quantized.

@En Nodi yes

Always the best, simple but rigorus.
Very nice video installment, very easy to follow and understand. Thanks 👍
As always, an excellent video, Arvin.
It's time to start formulating a theory of gravitation, in which mattergy (Mg) displaces spacetime (ST). Here, Mg and ST are both seen as possessing mass and density---with Mg as possessing more and ST less. This allows Mg particles, forces, and fields to displace those of ST. Further, a force within ST, akin to the EM and strong forces, acts to pull any displaced ST components back together to close such displacements. Finally, the continuous pushing out of ST by Mg and pulling inward of ST by a sort-of integrity-field would be felt as "gravitation."
Maybe you can do that.
Producing videos like this is a good way of inspiring the next Einstein IMHO :) Thank you !
When you think about it string theory is so messy compared to lqg.
But keep in mind, ST would also explain more things.
I agree seems very out there, but reality is weird
@@ArvinAsh Yes definately, when you come up with lots of extra dimensions to prove your theory there's lot more explaining to do ;)
@@ArvinAsh Would it be too late to suggest that the reason nine dimensions are needed in ST may be due to the three fundamental QM forces each having their own independent 3-space manifold to operate within, all intersecting at the quark?
@@markiv2942 The bigger problem is IMO no super symmetry partner particles have been found yet, which is very odd.
You give a really illuminating exposition of the attractive mechanism for photon exchange between unlike charges. For that alone I'm grateful, as I had understood the mathematical reasoning decades ago but never got a visual image of the process. But the explanation of the difference between loop-quantum and string theories is wonderful. I am a physicist of a much more mundane sort. Even though I use quantum theory daily, this field is one where I very much lack the tools. I'm planning slowly to teach myself, simply to delight in the elegance (and appreciate the gaps).
Thank you Arvin Ash. You are a great explainer!
Never disappointed by Arvin Ash! Presenting material in a way one can understand. You didn’t lose me once. And your passion always inspires me to imagine the possibilities while you’re talking. Never boring always educational. Thanks Arvin

Fantastic vid Al. Thank you very much.
A more balanced approach to explain the theory of everything than other channels. No pet theory, just facts.
Superb Video Arvin, Do you think this implies simulation because of such rule set kind of like how we define while programming, configuration of fundamental constants, plank's length, time as shortest for this universe!
I don't think so. Our universe simply has some mathematical rules that it abides by. Proof of simulation would have to come in some other form in my opinion.
The universe doesn't run on maths, maths is the decrypted form of the universe.
Or perhaps we are just all a simulation indeed, in that case, hey infinitely dimensional alien, nice work and all, but could you remove the "existential dread of being at your 20's and still having accomplished nothing" feature?

I'm a researcher (in particle physics) and I think your video is extremely well done. I'm not sure though how much a non-expert in physics would understand ;).
One comment about the part of the video where you argue which one between QM and GR is incomplete.
This part is a bit misleading, since GR is a theory while QM is a broader concept which comprehend several theories (classical QM, SM of particles,...). I understand that this is not easy to explain in 15 min, but I would simply say that both approaches are incomplete and they need to be unified.
Keep doing your amazing videos!
