Phrases with «quantum gravity»

Quantum gravity is a concept that tries to combine two fundamental theories of physics: quantum mechanics (which explains how really small things behave) and general relativity (which describes gravity). It suggests that at incredibly small scales, like those found at the center of a black hole or during the Big Bang, gravity interacts with other forces in a quantum way. It aims to provide a better understanding of how gravity works in situations where it becomes extremely strong and complicated. Full definition
