The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics

The Challenge of Quantum Gravity (1x19)

Uitzenddatum: Nov 24, 2023

Quantum theory accounts for a remarkable array of particles and forces—but not gravity. Learn why constructing a successful theory of quantum gravity has vexed physicists for nearly a century. Professor Carroll lays the groundwork for discussing the Many-Worlds perspective on gravity by focusing on two popular alternative theories: string theory and loop quantum gravity.
