Quantum Gravity Research is a Los Angeles based organization working on developing a first-principles quantum gravity unification theory while supporting the global physics community at large through collaborative research and grants. The group's core focus, Emergence Theory, is being developed by a team of dedicated physicists and mathematicians using E8-derived quasicrystal mathematics to weave together quantum mechanics, general and special relativity, the standard model and other mainstream physics theories into a complete, fundamental picture of a discretized, self-actualizing universe. The group was founded in 2009 and currently has over 20 scientists world-wide working on Emergence Theory.
