The problem of quantum gravity, involving the bringing together of the two pillars of modern physics (general relativity, describing spacetime and gravity, and quantum theory, describing matter and the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces), remains unresolved despite over a century of searching. Following on from a productive pair of earlier ARC fellowship projects, this project aims to continue the historical investigation of the quest for quantum gravity, from 1957 to 1988, with a view to opening up avenues for new solutions and new ways to crack longstanding roadblocks through a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary approach.

量子引力的问题，涉及到现代物理学的两大支柱（广义相对论，描述时空和引力，量子理论，描述物质和强，弱和电磁力）的结合，尽管经过了世纪的探索，仍然没有得到解决。继早期ARC奖学金项目之后，该项目旨在继续对1957年至1988年的量子引力探索进行历史调查，以期通过高度协作的跨学科方法为新的解决方案和新的方法开辟途径，以破解长期存在的障碍。
