As I understand it, there are fundamental discrepancies between general relativity and quantum mechanics. Both theories come close to explaining how everything works, but some parts are totally incompatible. A major stumbling block seems to be gravity. Gravity, the force which keeps us comfortably in our recliners and not bouncing our noses against the ceiling, appears not to have any effect on the smallest sub-atomic particles proposed by quantum mechanics. So far, that conundrum has prevented the final iteration of a Theory of Everything.
The effects of gravity are an essential component of both General and Special Relativity, besides keeping our feet firmly planted on the ground. It can't just be tossed aside simply to finalize a universal theory, even though we appear to have proof it does not always apply. That gap between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics has, so far, remained unbridgeable.
But I think I can help out with that.
Consider the water glider, also known as water striders, water skeeters, water scooters, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, water skimmers or puddle flies. They walk on water. Literally, in its literal sense. These insects, of some 170 species of the Gerridae family, are light enough that they can distribute their weight to actually walk on the surface of water, taking advantage of its surface tension.
I suspect any competent physicist can see where I'm going with this.
Subatomic particles are known to have even less mass than a water strider, ergo, they have the potential of riding on the gravity wave rather than being drawn into it. I call the theory Quantum Gravity Wave Skating. Thus the paradox between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics can be resolved.
Done and dusted.
Unfortunately, I will be unable to travel to Stockholm.
