Quantum cosmology and loop quantum gravity constitute two intertwined pillars in the quest for a quantum theory of gravity. Quantum cosmology applies the principles of quantum mechanics to the entire ...

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 ...

A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ongoing quest for quantum gravity. These findings, which involve the behavior ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We often marvel at the genius of Albert Einstein, a physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Yet, even this formidable mind was perplexed by a grand scientific problem, one that ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever ...
