Abstract
The main thread of chapter 6 prompts the need for quantum gravity (QG) and introduces the RBW approach to QG, unification in particle physics, dark matter, and dark energy. The details of RBW’s modified Regge calculus and modified lattice gauge theory approaches are conveyed conceptually in the main thread. The RBW fits of galactic rotation curves, galactic cluster mass profiles, the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background, and the Union2.1 supernova data associated with dark matter and dark energy are in Foundational Physics for Chapter 6. In Philosophy of Physics for Chapter 6, RBW’s taxonomic location with respect to other discrete approaches to QG is detailed and it is argued that the search for QG is stymied by the dynamical paradigm across the board. Further, it is maintained that an adynamical global constraint as the basis for QG in the block universe provides a self-vindicating unification of physics.
