*Update regarding 2022 Nobel Prize in physics (06/10/22)
Conflict between Einestein’s and Bohr’s position on properties of QM has been experimentally solved in favour of Bohr. bigthink:
“Do our objects have predetermined characteristics that they “agreed upon” beforehand, like shape and color (Einstein’s hidden variables)? Or are their properties determined at the instant of measurement, and somehow are shared between entangled objects, even if they are on opposite sides of the Universe (Bohr’s proposition)?”
“If Einstein is right, we see different measurements more than half the time. If Bohr is right, we see that these measurements are different half the time. The two predictions do not agree!”
Have we been looking at ourselves all this time? If so, graviton will be the particle that behaves as an interior analogue of a photon. From the more and more promising ontological perspective of dual-aspect monism we can say that gravitation is a natural language of attention, therefore relativistic, resulting in different qualia for each and every observer, despite the identical sensory perception.
Gravitons: (1) all the snapshots binding subjective past and future states of a conscious system, (2) cosmic memory unit of relativistic qualia, (3) internal analogues of photons. Gravitons are private, while photons are not. That’s why they can’t be detected.
From Quantum Gravity (Rovelli 2004):
So how to get over experimental failures of supersymmetry and gravitons? Could Maldacena duality help us move further with a more appropriate ontology? Here’s an idea that might change something essential.

If the universe is a play, particles are the actors, but gravity is the stage.
kurzgesagt
The only time we require matter is in the precise moment in which we are happening. Before and after that matter becomes completely irrelevant and what remains are either memories or imagination, the dream that we dream together. Now that’s a lovely dual aspect. How could this point of view this solve the graviton problem?
Let me explain.
A question was posed today by a Twitter user:
In a previous post I offer a short story of how I came to think of consciousness being rooted in geometry and that it’s vibrating strings at the very base of our reality, essentially a domain.
The evolution of consciousness is a tendency of a string of consciousness to undergo geometrical evolution and bind to its own end. It should remind you of an old ancient Greek adage:
Know thyself.
It is fundamentally this:
The adage Know Thyself is traditionally ascribed to ancient Greece. According to Pausanias, the saying was inscribed on the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, also known as the Oracle of Delphi. Legend tells that the seven sages of ancient Greece, philosophers, statesmen and law-givers who laid the foundation for western culture, gathered together in Delphi and encapsulated their wisdom into this command. It was subsequently attributed to a dozen other authors, of which Thales of Miletus most commonly takes the honor. The saying was later adopted by Socrates and Plato, who grappled with the mysterious nature of knowledge and identity.

Physicalistic idealism is the non-materialist physicalist claim that reality is fundamentally experiential and that the natural world is exhaustively described by the equations of physics and their solutions.

Loop quantum gravity – spin network: Network of looped up timelines
Additionally, it shouln’t come as surprising that Carlo Rovelli, quantum loop theory researcher, describes loops of strings as if they tend to join their ends and become closed loops of strings. Sean Carroll hosted a nice podcast with Carlo, but he’s also written books. Here are some quotes and interpretations:
“LQG is formally background independent. Meaning the equations of LQG are not embedded in, or dependent on, space and time (except for its invariant topology). Instead, they are expected to give rise to space and time at distances which are 10 times the Planck length. The issue of background independence in LQG still has some unresolved subtleties. For example, some derivations require a fixed choice of the topology, while any consistent quantum theory of gravity should include topology change as a dynamical process.”
LQG is not embedded in space time because it describes consciousness from which the space time rises.
“Space-time as a “container” over which physics takes place has no objective physical meaning and instead the gravitational interaction is represented as just one of the fields forming the world. This is known as the relationalist interpretation of space-time.”
“In LQG a spin network represents a “quantum state” of the gravitational field on a 3-dimensional hypersurface. The set of all possible spin networks (or, more accurately, “s-knots” – that is, equivalence classes of spin networks under diffeomorphisms) is countable; it constitutes a basis of LQG Hilbert space.”
“In physics, a spin foam is a topological structure made out of two-dimensional faces that represents one of the configurations that must be summed to obtain a Feynman’s path integral (functional integration) description of quantum gravity. It is closely related to loop quantum gravity.”
“Spin foam derived from the Hamiltonian constraint operator –
The Hamiltonian constraint generates ‘time’ evolution. Solving the Hamiltonian constraint should tell us how quantum states evolve in ‘time’ from an initial spin network state to a final spin network state.“
quantamagazine: “On the timeless boundary of our space-time bubble, the entanglements linking together qubits (and encoding the universe’s dynamical interior) would presumably remain intact, since these quantum correlations do not require that signals be sent back and forth. But the state of the qubits must be static and timeless. This line of reasoning suggests that somehow, just as the qubits on the boundary of AdS space give rise to an interior with one extra spatial dimension, qubits on the timeless boundary of de Sitter space must give rise to a universe with time — dynamical time, in particular. Researchers haven’t yet figured out how to do these calculations. “In de Sitter space,” Swingle said, “we don’t have a good idea for how to understand the emergence of time.”
plato.stanford.edu: “Since the contemporary theory of gravity, general relativity, describes gravitation as the curvature of spacetime by matter and energy, a quantization of gravity seemingly implies some sort of quantization of spacetime geometry: quantum spacetime.“

Hypothesis. Following the logic we are now allowed to think how qubits (all the superpositions) represent network of entangled qualia carried by gravitons. In that context, quantum gravity is the glue (attractive force) that binds qualia together inside of observer’s subjective (one of many others) world-simulation, i.e. one’s whole universe.
An embodied observer experiences general relativity: time that is relative and dynamical, a dimension interwoven with directions x, y and z. Quantum mechanics implies time that is universal and absolute. This is the state of qubits: static and timeless, just like all possible states and rules (the Ruliad) would be if there was no time (i.e. observer in time) to require a change in one’s experience.
1. Time to shift perspective
If “Mind is the matrix of all matter” (Max Planck, followed by Steven Lehar) then we have to search for graviton within how the mind works, more precisely, in consciousness.
The reason why people think that strings raise many questions and that consciouness doesn’t make sense is because we are presupposing our complete reality is rooted in a world governed by matter. Imagination, just as remembering, creates vivid scenery that makes up large portion of our experiences. Only time that we need matter is in the precise moment when we are witnessing events happening in spacetime (the screen of consciousness). Before and after that matter becomes irrelevant. Therefore, we should stop looking for answers about consciousness from materialist perspective.
Quarks are elementary particles that are fundamental constituents of matter. Bosons, on the other hand, act as force carriers, which give rise to forces between other particles.
It is clear that via conscious perception we are the ones defining relationships between objects in that moment of time. Otherwise, there would have been nothing to define. Our qualia are glued together on top of each other and therefore they create a coherent stream of conscious experience – the universal ganglia. Without consciousness, they would be single events outside of time.
Maybe it is the predicted graviton that glues strings of conciousness into that what we perceive as a stream of consciousness – that what happens (materializes) in one unique timeline of a conscious observer. I elaborate this further in the following paragraph.
Before I continue, let’s have a look at how perception is defined:
- The ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.
“the normal limits to human perception” - The way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted.
“Hollywood’s perception of the tastes of the American public”
We should understand that that what we see as matter is only that what we are able to perceive with our senses and limited brain capacities, therefore it cannot be fundamental.
2. Strings
= vibrating tubes of strong nuclear force.
Oscillations necessary for consciousness are physical, and not biological. Geometry and resonance (cymatics) as dualistic manifestations of the same underlying rule implies possibility of qualia being observed as both a hyperbolic string and having a specific geometric shape.
@S_Raisuddin, who asked me to elaborate on my idea that strings are oscillators of consciousness, also writes on his website:
“Epistemological Transformation: Physics is behavioral science of matter. Because it is not Physics that give behavior to matter instead it is behavior of matter that give Physics. Matter is self-knowing.“
Gravitons: (1) all the snapshots binding subjective past and future states of a conscious system, (2) the cosmic memory unit of relativistic qualia, (3) dual partners of photons. Gravitons are private, while photons are not. That’s why they can’t be detected in LHC.
“If it exists, the graviton is expected to be massless because the gravitational force has a very long range, and appears to propagate at the speed of light.”
And may I add, it makes sense that graviton travels at the speed of light because it is our own speed of perception (parsing qualia within the Ruliad via consciousness). While we’re looking at our reality emerging from strings (sine waves), the external reality that we see appears to be a form of a mirror bouncing light. We cannot find the graviton because we cannot catch ourselves and because we are traveling at the speed of light as a collection of eternal, timeless photographs (qualia) that can only be perceived by another form of consciousness.
“In string theory, believed to be a consistent theory of quantum gravity, the graviton is a massless state of a fundamental string.“
“The only hypothetical massless spin 2 particle is the graviton – the hypothetical quantum of gravity, an elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitational interaction.“
Matter only ever happens in the moment of perception of manifestation of light, everything else is our subjective past and future states (imaginary component) that bind our individual universes together in one sensible, coherent Self. That is what is bound by the massless graviton.
Q: Why is graviton nowhere to be found?
A: It is in our imagination, which has physical properties (physicalist idealism).
Following is a quote from
http://www.bnl.gov –
Brookhaven National Laboratory: The Glue that Binds Us All
“(…) searches for the source of “missing” proton spin at RHIC have opened a deeper mystery: So far, it’s nowhere to be found.
To probe these and other puzzles, nuclear physicists would like to build a new machine: an electron-ion collider (EIC) designed to shine a very bright “light” on both protons and heavy ions to reveal their inner secrets.”
Don’t do it?
3. Heisenberg Uncertainty
Quantum gravity is “the hardest problem in physics” because academics are focused on a false ontology.

Hail to the jewel in the lotus!
“It could be that deep inside a black hole, matter doesn’t get squished down to an infinitely tiny point. Instead, there could be a smallest possible configuration of matter, the tiniest possible pocket of volume. This is called a Planck star, and it’s a theoretical possibility envisioned by loop quantum gravity, which is itself a highly hypothetical proposal for creating a quantum version of gravity. In the world of loop quantum gravity, space and time are quantized — the universe around us is composed of tiny discrete chunks, but at such an incredibly tiny scale that our movements appear smooth and continuous.”
This theoretical chunkiness of space-time provides two benefits. One, it takes the dream of quantum mechanics to its ultimate conclusion, explaining gravity in a natural way. And two, it makes it impossible for singularities to form inside black holes.” http://www.space.com
And, may I add, theoretical chunkiness of space-time besides gravity also explains consciousness in a natural way.
Quantum gravity problem is really not that absurd once one shifts perspective.
Consciousness can be observed as being perpendicular to quantum gravity just like time is to space, which also explains issue of double subject fallacy.
“Property dualism describes a category of positions in the philosophy of mind which hold that, although the world is composed of just one kind of substance—the physical kind—there exist two distinct kinds of properties: physical properties and mental properties.“
(I explain this in the article which is marked blue in the sentence above regarding consciousness.)
The purpose of construction in the mind is to create reality.
Bach:
“I suspect that our culture actually knew at some point that reality and the sense of reality and of being a mind is the ability to dream, to be some kind of biological machine that dreams about a world that contains it and about itself in this world.”
Now something from the above linked PBS spacetime video-lesson:
“Particles whose positions are defined within a Planck lenght can spontaneously become black holes. They are an absurdity that tells us that there’s something missing in our description of either quantum theory of general relativity.“
“What happens if you wanna quantize gravity? To quantize gravity, you have to quant spacetime itself.”
Q: What happens again in a black hole?
A: There is no time as such and equations break. Long story short, consciousness of the observer collapses into itself (due to gravity) – space-time collapses too.
“Time slows down near a black hole due to the extremely strong gravitational field of the black hole. According to the theory of general relativity, this phenomenon is due to the gravity of the black hole curving spacetime in a way that affects all measurements of time and space near the black hole.“
We have following complementary variables in measurement:
1) Position VS momentum
2) Energy VS location
It might help to think of this problem of inability to measure both complementary variables at the same time because that would imply that we as observers would freeze in time.
