My money's on wave-particle duality of gravity.

Be prepared to lose.

The wave portion of a particle's existence/
behavior is its interaction with "the field". If you
divorce gravitation from "the field", there is no
gravitation. Nothing to curve, no path.

And so the double-slit tells us - something
about fields ?

No, it tells us something about "the field". The place that
light passes through (the field) has/is evidence of everything,
no matter where it is. (No pun intended.)


I got some fertilizer for that field of yours (heh heh)


Gravitation is a warping of dimensional fabric.
No field needed.

"Dimensional fabric" cannot be divorced from the matter and
energy that caused it to exist. "The field" and "dimensional
fabric" are synonymous. Gravitation occurs across the same
"place" that self-interference does.

Chicken or the Egg.

You guys have got things backwards. Dimension does not exist for the
convenience of particles. It's the other way around.

I will place my money on gravitons being as
necessary to Nature as magnetic monopoles.
In other words, "it will be really simple if..."
but always non-detect.

And gravitons, if they exist, you would expect
them to be particles

By definition, yes. But then spacetime is meaningless at the
quantum level, so does "curvature of meaningless" require a
quantum actor?


Not meaningless at all. It continuous and discrete. Spacetime is never
meaningless. Trivial, sometimes. Meaningless, never.
