QM and General Relativity may have finally been merged

Some posters give off the appearance of actually understanding this. I am not among them. When claims are made the James Webb Space Telescope solved the questions contained in quantum physics, it brings out the skeptic in me.
That and the paper came to us from Thailand and China. Seems important physicists would be leaping up to embrace it were it true.
 
“Therefore, the constants of the universe can be reduced to only two quantities: Planck length and Planck time.”

From the abstract at the OP’s link.

Now we know it’s silly.

Everyone of us know that there are other constants:

Like death and taxes.
 
You raise valid points.
I do not have the education needed to raise invalid points.
I had checked with Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder first to see if she is in on this herself. She spent time debunking it.

Do you have reference? This won't be the first theory to go down in flames.

Edit: Never mind. I saw the video. It went down in flames

Link sucks....Not enough original content for a legit OP....Best clean that up, dude.

Now, onto the topic....

The concept of time is three dimensional: Newtonian & Einsteinian...Quantum physics has no concept of time: it transcends what we can see, even with the most high tech instrument of measurment.

You might as well be trying to reconcile baseball with SCUBA diving.
🙄
 
Planck length appears to be a circular definition:

Planck units are a system of units of measurementdefined exclusively in terms of four universal physical constants: c, G, ħ, and kB

See wiki.

If there are now TWO constants but one of those constants is measured in terms of FOUR constants, then the math no add up.
You misunderstand. The planck length is itself a constant. Its expressed in meters, not "in other constants". Multiplying those constants you mentioned is how it is calculated. The article is stating that even those constants can be expressed using a combination of the two constants planck length and planck time.
 
All good conspiracies start with good theories ...

ETA: You know these authors have it right because the paper won't be published until next January ... now we'll start seeing tourists from the future ...

Your sense of humor is legendary.

Could be some very big news.
" In recent years, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has observed several phenomena, including galaxies that had already existed 300 Myr after the big bang, which have never been thought to exist [1,2]. However, our proposed theory suitably explains this phenomenon"

Pretty cool.

Or … and try to follow along here … you could just play it for a moment or two. She guts the paper.
She does? How so?

Not that I would be sad or surprised.

Too many irrelevant and unexplained videos get posted. I need a bit of a summary.
