Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

NOTE

Zero Mass Does Not Ensure Continuity

In massive gravity theories, the expectation might be that reducing the mass of the graviton to zero would recover General Relativity (GR). However, this does not occur due to the complexities introduced by nonlinearities and multiple polarization modes. This highlights the importance of fully understanding the structure of massive gravity as it fundamentally diverges from the expected continuity seen in quantum mechanics when h-bar approaches zero.
