Aren't we done now?

 

By what it says in this article, physics should be over.  After all, isn't the "Theory of Everything" what they've been seeking for decades?

Magical equation unites quantum physics, Einstein’s general relativity in a first

" “We proved that the Einstein field equation from general relativity is actually a relativistic quantum mechanical equation,” the researchers note in their study.

In simple words, this new framework connects the science that governs the macroscopic world with that of the microscopic world.

Therefore, it has the potential to explain every physical phenomenon known to humanity ranging from the mysterious dark matter in space to the photons emitted by your phone’s flashlight." "
See, I told you so. It's all over. Take down the party decorations.

But let's see what they actually did.
“The obtained equation is covariant in space-time and invariant with respect to any Planck scale. Therefore, the constants of the universe can be reduced to only two quantities: Planck length and Planck time,” the researchers note."

Of course, that should be obvious.

If you want to do the reading, here's the article.

On the same origin of quantum physics and general relativity from Riemannian geometry and Planck scale formalism








Schematic illustration of the Riemannian manifold of positive definite matrices (but that's pretty obvious, too)
