Have Three Little Photons Broken Theoretical Physics?

‘ A world without masses, without electrons, without an
electromagnetic field is an empty world. Such an empty
world is flat. But if masses appear, if charged particles
appear, if an electromagnetic field appears then our world
becomes curved. Its geometry is Riemannian, that is,
non- Euclidian.’

/ Book ‘Albert Einstein’ The page 116 . by Leopold Infeld. /

1.
Universe as a whole without masses, without electrons,
without an electromagnetic field is an empty world.
Such an empty world is flat ( infinite flat ).
2.
But if masses appear, if charged particles appear,
if an electromagnetic field appears ( in local places )
then our world becomes curved ( in local places stars
and planets were created ).
From outside point of view it is local Riemannian geometry,
non- Euclidian geometry .

Even one single photon can broken the opinion of modern theoretical physics.

‘ All these fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me
no nearer to the answer to the question, 'What are light quanta?'
Nowadays every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he knows it,
but he is mistaken. ‘
/ Einstein /
In light of ' the quantum of light ', we will always know the truth.

If anything, these results strengthen quantum gravity as a field, by eliminating some of the theories.

Quantum gravity, much like string theory, for a long time had the annoying habit of having no observable effects. So here you have a case where, up to a possible explanation as a Poisson noise event, they have placed rather tight constraints on a wide class of theories of quantum gravity.

Quantum gravity is falsifiable, that can only be a good thing in science.
