This Element explores the motivations for seeking a quantum gravity theory, focusing on unification, incompatibilities between general relativity and quantum field theory, consistency, singularity resolution, and black hole thermodynamics results, aiming to provide a critical perspective on the definition and constraints of this theory.
The search for a new scientific theory is typically prompted by an encounter with something in the world that cannot be explained by current theories. This is not the case for the search for a theory of quantum gravity, which has been primarily motivated by theoretical and philosophical concerns. This Element introduces some of the motivations for seeking a theory of quantum gravity, with the aim of instigating a more critical perspective on how they are used in defining and constraining the theory sought. These motivations include unification, incompatibilities between general relativity and quantum field theory, consistency, singularity resolution, and results from black hole thermodynamics.
