Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...
In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called ...
Explore the complex challenges of quantum gravity in this video, examining the evolution of gravity models and the necessity ...
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.
New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s ...
A new study suggests that it is mathematically impossible for the universe to be an ultra-sophisticated computer-generated simulation. The study, ...
Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...
