Merging quantum mechanics and gravity is a famously hard physics problem. Explaining why merging quantum mechanics and gravity is hard is, in turn, a very hard science communication problem. The more popular descriptions tend to lead to misunderstandings, and I've posted many times over the years to chip away at those misunderstandings. Merging quantum mechanics...

Listen to a physicist talk about quantum mechanics, and you'll hear the word "observable". Observables are, intuitively enough, things that can be observed. They're properties that, in principle, one could measure in an experiment, like the position of a particle or its momentum. They're the kinds of things linked by uncertainty principles, where the better...
