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
