Root, an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology, investigates the significance of quantum satellite gravimetry in this intriguing analysis ...
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 ...
Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...
Physicist Brian Cox has rarely been shy about his enthusiasm for big, difficult ideas, but his reaction to a recent quantum gravity paper stands out even by his standards. He has described the work as ...
A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.
Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).
