Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

A new study suggests that gravity could quantum-entangle particles even if it remained classical.

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Last year, Jonathan Oppenheim’s theory of post-quantum gravity was the only theory that made it into my Best of 2024 summary. Post-quantum gravity is one of the most ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...
