I’ve had this book on my shelf for years and haven’t given it a good read… UA-cam randomly recommended me this. Maybe I’ll finally give it a read, thanks man haha
Hello. I enjoyed your video. I am a failed physics student who really likes physics. I have always enjoyed this particular subject ever since reading Hyperspace by Michio Kaku back in the 90s (I would recommend this book if you have not already read it). Here are a couple of thoughts I have in regards to quantum gravity: 1. We are only able to observe objects in three dimensions. A photon is a 2 dimensional object (electric and magnetic waves) that would otherwise be undetectable except that it always travels into a 3rd dimension. Thus, we can observe it but this also explains why it is 'different' from everything else (fully three-dimensional particles). I believe without much evidence that gravitons are 1 dimensional objects/waves that travel into a 2nd dimension at the speed of light. Since, under this hypothesis, they don't broach a third dimension, I put forward that gravitons will never be directly observed. 2. Because photons are only absorbed if they have the right quantized energy to excite an electron to a higher state, do you think there could be light and matter in the universe, created at the big bang, with different, 'non-quantized' energy that will never interact with what we consider ordinary matter? Do you think it's possible that there is an entire 'shadow' universe of particles that we cannot detect because we can only detect particles if they have the right quantas of energy? I wish you well in your studies. Thank you for sharing your passion for reading and physics.
Thank you for the recommendation and wish your channel good luck in its growth!

Definitely do! Let me know what you think of it when you manage to do so.
