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.

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

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 ...

Quantum gravity seeks a consistent framework to merge the principles of quantum mechanics with general relativity, addressing the challenges of formulating a quantum field theory for the gravitational ...
