Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales Schrodinger’s skinniest kittens Must the Schrodinger’s Cat be fat enough ...

Spacetime itself would also need to be “quantized,” or broken down into constituent parts. This is what the notorious string theory attempts to do, as does loop quantum gravity, currently considered a ...

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

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to be folded neatly into the quantum rules that govern the rest of nature. Now a convergence of bold ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

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 ...

Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory.

Synthese, Vol. 197, No. 5, Special Issue on New Trends in the Metaphysics of Science (May 2020), pp. 1961-1982 (22 pages) In this paper, I will argue that metaphysicians ought to utilize quantum ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...
