The ‘curves in space’ theory of gravity is falling out of favour due to the fact that Einstein’s equations seem to work on our solar system but begin to break when we apply the same near a black hole or back in time, during the initial big bang.

String Theory, which conce...

The infinite weirdness of black holes makes it difficult for a physicist to combine gravity with quantum mechanics (QM).

The fact that gravity works on everything makes it difficult to construct an apparatus to measure the QM properties of gravity. This is because the measuring apparatus c...

Quantum gravity experiments and observations show some interesting phenomena in particles and even space-time. It is the cause of the creation of entire universes, not just particles.

The more the universe expands, the more vacuum is created, due to the expansion of space-time, leading to ...

• While performing quantum calculations, certain infinite terms appear, making these theories ‘non-renormalizable’.
• Theories that are describing the forces of nature other than gravity, can easily be renormalized(put to scale) and that makes gravity an a...

"The number of degrees of freedom in a spatial region is proportional to its surface area instead of its volume” - Daniel Harlow, Quantum gravity theorist at MIT.

According to physicists, quantum particles are responsible for three forces of nature:

• Strong nuclear force.
• Weak nuclear force.
• Electromagnetic force.

The fourth force of nature, gravity, is till now assumed to not originate from quantum par...

Einstein's General Theory Of Relativity provides a rock-solid description of gravity, black holes and even the Big Bang, but fails to explain the very ‘singularities’ that signal towards infinity.

The extraordinary force of gravity can be researched with new-age engineering experiments bu...
