Why doesn’t quantum mechanics agree with general relativity? Will we ever have a quantum picture of gravity? What are some candidates? What does it have to do with cuss words?

0:00.0 | You know what time it is. |
0:12.4 | It's time for Ask a Space Man. |
0:14.4 | And you know what? |
0:15.0 | I think I chuckle every time I open the show because, let's face it, that's a pretty corny line. |
0:21.9 | It's a little bit on the cheese side, but I started doing when I first started the show |
0:27.1 | and now it's kind of stuck because it's kind of the thing. |
0:30.1 | And people don't want something different and want me to open the show the same way every time. |
0:34.8 | But there it is. |
0:36.4 | So I'm going to chuckle every time I open the show. |
0:39.2 | I'm Paul Sutter. I'm your host. You know how this show works. You ask questions. I've got answers. |
0:44.5 | All that jazz. You go on Twitter, Facebook. Use the hashtag Ask a Spaceman. You can also ask me |
0:50.1 | directly. My name on Twitter and Facebook is Paul Matt Sutter because that's my name. You can also |
0:55.3 | go to Ask aSpaceman.com. You can also email Ask a Spaceman at gmail.com. Send me those questions. |
1:01.8 | I'll put them together. I'll read Wikipedia so you don't have to. Yeah. We're after a simple thing |
1:09.5 | with this show. Very simple goal. Complete knowledge of time and |
1:14.9 | space. It will take a while to get there, but we've got enough space and we've got enough |
1:20.3 | time to do it. So on that path today, we have today's question. Very cool question from |
1:25.8 | Damien Kazan. He asked asked on facebook what exactly is the |
1:30.5 | problem that quantum mechanics has with general relativity and related to that scatata on |
1:38.2 | twitter asked can you explain the complication of a black hole singularity. These seem like totally different questions. |
1:47.0 | Why don't we have quantum mechanics and relativity, general relativity playing along nicely together, |
1:52.9 | and what's going on inside of the hearts of black holes? Seems like different things, |
