Are there any experts out there in the fediverse studying Quantum Gravity, and the reconciliation between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in general?

Are there any experts out there in the fediverse studying Quantum Gravity, and the reconciliation between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in general?

I want to see such a scientific breakthrough in my lifetime.

I don't follow the field, but I have a physics PhD. What are you hoping to learn?

Not OP, but something I find super interesting and really cool is the concept of matter and anti matter, in the creation of the universe, where say you had 1 part anti matter and 2 parts matter, and after they cancel eachother out, what you have is a whole universe made out of the difference, 1 part matter.

If there was more antimatter, we'd have a universe made of anti matter instead.

Something about it feels almost philosophical in mature. I'm very curious in the gap between science and human spirituality and how they are on a trajectory to, in some way, combine, where our spirituality, as humans, will be based in real data, and I find that idea really beautiful.

If you have any reading reccs, I'd love to hear.

@freyedEdge Do you have suggestions of particular fields of mathematics for General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics?

I stopped at Multivariable Calculus. Should I pick that back up?

I'm not a scientist, but this is one topic I absolutely love. Following
