Sky Darmos is a quantum gravity researcher who discovered a unique way of unifying quantum mechanics with gravity that solves virtually all the major open problems in physics. His theory is called ‘SPD-quantum gravity’. SPD stands for ‘space particle dualism’. It tackles quantum mechanics by postulating that we exist in all worlds simultaneously that are temporarily indistinguishable to us, and it reformulates gravity by postulating that every particle is a quantum of space that is an oscillating complex number 2 sphere. Density differences in this granular space are caused by virtual gauge bosons, in particular virtual gluons, and are interpreted as gravity. Since their number only depends on the baryon number, Sky rejects the equivalence principle that was at the core of both Newtonian gravity as well as Einstein’s general relativity.

Sky backs up this bold claim with all the measurements of the gravitational constant of the past 50 years. The correlation has a chance of only 1 in 10^69 of being a statistical fluke. This is well beyond Sigma-5 and should in fact lead to the largest paradigm shift in physics since the advent of quantum mechanics in 1925.

Sky not only revolutionizes gravity, but also cosmology, claiming that the universe is 42 trillion years old (2019), particle physics, predicting the mass of most elementary particles (2023), and astrophysics, beating Einstein in precision at the prediction of the perihelion precession of Mercury and the orbit decay of the Taylor pulsars (2024).

His work has major implications for technology, allowing us to build gravity-based material analyzers (2024), and to manipulate gravity using laser-based Wakefield accelerators. The latter would also allow for artificial gravity in Earth orbit.
