Reconciling Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity

This chapter explores the intricate relationship between quantum mechanics and general relativity, emphasizing Mach's principle, which suggests distant masses affect local physics. It highlights the challenges of establishing rigorous proofs within this framework and presents a new concept, the cosmological invariant set postulate, offering insights into complex phenomena like entanglement. Additionally, the discussion navigates the implications of non-locality and the philosophical questions arising from these intersections in modern physics.
