Loop quantum gravity breaks one of Einstein’s most important rules: the spacetime fabric must be continuous.
Loop quantum gravity is discrete, but quantum physics itself is discrete too — hence its incompatibility with spacetime.
We’ll see if Einstein was right about the continous nature of spacetime, or if discrete theories like LQG win out… but I’m betting on Einstein. 😎🍻
