Classical vs quantum mechanics

Both special relativity and general relativity are fundamentally classical theories. Classically, things have positions, and locations - positions and velocities. However, classical mechanics fail at small scales. This is where quantum mechanics becomes useful.

Since the discovery of quantum mechanics, we have to take everything we know about nature and fit it into the quantum mechanical framework. Physicists can do that for almost everything they know about nature, except for gravity and curved space-time.

Strange things happen when you try to combine Einstein’s description of curved space-time with a universe made up of quantum wavefunctions. This podcast shows how space and time are emergent properties of quantum reality but not fundamental parts of it.
