    About this ebook

    While Quantum mechanics and General Relativity  are both highly successful, these two structures leave a lot of important questions unanswered. They are also based on two different interpretations of space and time, and are therefore fundamentally incompatible. We have two descriptions but, as far as we know, we've only ever had one universe. What we need is a quantum theory of gravity.

    Approaches to formulating such a theory have primarily followed two paths. One leads to String Theory, which has for long been fashionable, and about which much has been written. But String Theory has become mired in problems. In this book, Balungi Francis describes ": an approach which takes General relativity as its starting point, and leads to a structure called General Quantum Gravity. Balungi tells the story through the careers and pioneering work of two of the theory's
    most prominent contributors, Lee Smolin and Carlo Rovelli. Combining clear discussions of both quantum theory and general relativity, this book offers one of the first efforts to explain the new quantum theory of gravity.

    Author

    Balungi Francis

    Balungi Francis was born in Kampala, Uganda, to a single poor mother, grew up in Kawempe, and later joined Makerere Universty in 2006, graduating with a Bachelor Science degree in Land Surveying in 2010. For four years he taught in Kampala City high schools, majoring in the fields of Gravitation and Quantum Physics. His first book, "Mathematical Foundation of the Quantum theory of Gravity," won the Young Kampala Innovative Prize and was mentioned in the African Next Einstein Book Prize (ANE).  He has spent over 15years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, gravity, in addition to astrophysics, unified physics and geographical information systems . These studies led to his groundbreaking theories, published papers, books and patented inventions in the science of Quantum Gravity, which have received worldwide recognition. From these discoveries, Balungi founded the SUSP (Solutions to the Unsolved Scientific Problems) Project Foundation in 2004 – now known as the SUSP Science Foundation. As its current Director of Research, Balungi leads physicists, mathematicians and engineers in exploring Quantum Gravity  principles and their implications in our world today and for future generations. Balungi launched the Visionary School of Quantum Gravity  in 2016 in order to bring the learning and community further together. It’s the first and only Quantum Gravity physics program of its kind, educating thousands of students from over 80 countries. The book "Quantum Gravity in a Nutshell1", a most recommend book in quantum gravity research , was produced based on Balungi's discoveries and their potential for generations to come. Balungi is currently guiding the Foundation, speaking to audiences worldwide, and continuing his groundbreaking research.

      Balungi's Approach to Quantum Gravity - Balungi Francis

      INTRODUCTION

      A precise and consistent quantum theory of  gravity has not yet been proved, not even by the self proclaimed geniuses of this time. We are aware and satisfied that classical General Relativity is the most precise description of gravity due to its predictable nature. The left hand side of Einstein field equation represents the metric of space time curvature while the right hand side represents the matter - energy content of the classical matter fields of pressure and energy density. It is known that quantum mechanics plays an important role in the behaviour of the matter fields but has no place in the Einsteins field equations.According to S.W.Hawking (1975), one therefore has a problem of defining a consistent scheme in which the space time metric is treated classically but is coupled to the matter fields which are treated quantum mechanically.

      In  this book we propose that, in order to estimate stellar parameters to a high degree of accuracy for both microscopic and macroscopic descriptions of white dwarfs and black holes one has to treat the right hand side of Einstein field equation quantum mechanically as,

      , where is the total pressure, is the gravitational force, is the electric force , G is the gravitational constant, c is the constant speed of light, is the reduced planck constant and is the  mass of an Hydrogen atom.
