"Toms has shown that quantum gravity causes asymptotic freedom in all the gauge couplings. This is handy if you want to show that all forces unify in a single (very weak) force at very high energies."

> David, What does this mean, every force is unified into ONE force, altho weak, at very high energies? What is a force and what is very high energy? Speaking in layman's terms of course to the best of your understanding.-To add to David's explanation; the state of ultra-high energy is what the universe was immediately after 'ground zero' of the big bang. All mass and energy that exists was compressed into a kind of "container" that was too big to hold it; too hot and too energetic for atoms. This is when our universe was made of the stuff smaller than quarks and neutrinos.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
