unifying gravity and electromagnetism

[dafydd]

Pardon me but that is because Newton’s 3rd Law is in force. You know, it's not that easy to appreciate both sides of the coin

Elucidate, please.

Perhaps he is referring to Newton's tenure as Master Of The Royal Mint?

Methinks it takes more than a couple of mints to, metaphorically, clean his breath.

constant speed of light and quantum uncertainty

Speed of light is apparently constant in the vacuum but varies in different media.

According to the quantum physics, vacuum state is not really empty but has vacuum fluctuations with virtual particles popping in and out.

On the other hand, most of the atom’s space is vacuum with its quantum fluctuations.

So, if the speed of light is constant, then it must be the same in all media and vacuum.

If one thinks that the photons get slowed by the presence of matter particles in the medium’s atoms, then why are they not affected similarly in gravitational fields?

Apparently speed of light is not constant in the quantum microcosm and subjected to the same quantum fluctuations and uncertainty.

So, one step down, the constancy of speed of light holds true only in the macroworld.

But quantum uncertainty also seems to exist/ extend into the macroworld. Macro-aggregates of molecules were shown to pass through the double slits just like the electrons! (Bucky balls’ experiment)

So, the constant speed of light has no place to hide (except in the irrational minds that are distorted by mathematical delusions)

I have no idea what that incoherent statement is supposed to mean. Why would would the speed of light need a place to hide?

Smeone after it with a court summons?

Yes.

Well. Not really. In some senses we can think of the electrons as being point particles and the nucleons of the nucleus as having radii of order 10^-15 m. But that's a rather classical description, not a quantum mechanical one.

So, if the speed of light is constant, then it must be the same in all media and vacuum.

No. That does not follow.
