Abstract:  Have you ever wondered why General Relativity breaks down at extremely small scales?  Have you ever thought that maybe there is some simple connection with Quantum Mechanics that we’re missing?  What I propose in this paper is my personal view on this missing link between the two powerful theories.

Powerful words, designed to catch your attention so that you might be lured into reading something totally unrelated.  That may have happened to you before, but this is actually a simple twist on Relativity that I firmly believe is the required correction to establish a unification with quantum behavior.  Hopefully I can explain it here adequately so that you might see how simple and logical it is.  The articles I’ve written previously about Relativity ([1][2], that I refer to here for comparisons), are attempts to accurately describe the picture shaped by Einstein as accepted by the Physics Community today (in a very simple and limited form).  This article contains my personal, subjective view where I have taken the liberty to diverge from the accepted picture of Relativity where necessary.  Here it is, free of charge, the answer to the riddle...

Like Relativity itself, many things at first seem counter intuitive, but later seem so profoundly simple that you wonder how you ever imagined them differently.  This has been the case for me with this idea for the past few years, although I haven’t found a collaboration supporting it yet.  Since the idea is very simple, I will try to explain it here descriptively as much as possible.  The details of the math will be printed in “Quantum Connection with Relativity of Length”, in the September issue of the Journal of New Energy* Volume 7 - number 3 (*The journal gears toward articles consistent with acceptable science with an emphasis on energy).  

First of all, if you’re going to unify General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics, you have to consider where such a connection currently fails.  It’s not really just as simple as small versus large.  GR breaks down near the critical radius of a mass, because it becomes mathematically undefined at these points (like the event horizon of a black hole).  A mathematical operator was employed to allow an observer (inside his own reference frame) to fall through the event horizon toward a singularity at the center.  Now QM doesn’t exactly break down at the large scales, it works fine for light over great distances.  But it doesn’t offer a good description for gravity – at least not a picture as beautiful and clear as GR yet.
