In a recent study that was published in Physical Review D, Queen Mary University of London Professor Ginestra Bianconi, offered a novel framework with the potential to completely alter knowledge of gravity and how it relates to quantum mechanics.
The study bridges the gap between Einstein's general relativity and quantum mechanics, two of the most fundamental but seemingly incompatible theories in physics, by introducing a novel method that derives gravity from quantum relative entropy.
The Challenge of Quantum Gravity
Physicists have been trying for decades to make sense of the differences between general relativity and quantum mechanics. General relativity explains the force of gravity on cosmic scales, whereas quantum mechanics controls the behavior of particles at the smallest scales. One of the most elusive objectives in contemporary science has been to bring these two frameworks together. READ MORE...
