Scientists have finally figured out a way to connect the dots between the macroscopic and the microscopic worlds. Their magical equation might provide us answers to questions like why black holes don't collapse and how quantum gravity works.

Edit: The paper is total nonsense. Sorry for wasting people’s time.

    I looked a little more closely at the paper and I’m no theoretical physicist but some of this looks pretty dubious on the surface. I don’t know but it might just be nonsense.

    For example:

    The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.

    Also, a search for some of the authors reveals that they publish on what seems like an odd range of topics, from materials science, through medicine and machine learning, to theoretical physics:

      Yeah, that sounds like numerology. All three of those things are the same vague piles of dust, as far as fundamental physics is concerned.

        Sabine Hossenfelder just released a video confirming that the paper is total nonsense:
