Can We Ever Test Quantum Gravity
Notas del episodio
Our two best descriptions of reality, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, are fundamentally incompatible. For nearly a century, this disconnect has been the most serious enigma in physics.
In this episode, we explore the quest for the "holy grail" of science: Quantum Gravity. While Einstein’s vision of smooth, curved spacetime governs the dance of galaxies, the jittery, probabilistic world of quantum mechanics rules the microscopic realm. When forced together at the heart of a black hole or the moment of the Big Bang, our mathematical equations break down into nonsensical infinities.
