How Do Physicists Try to Unite Gravity with Quantum Mechanics?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • String theory proposes gravity is mediated by closed strings called gravitons.
  • Loop quantum gravity suggests spacetime is quantized at the Planck scale.
  • Both aim to resolve singularities in black holes and the Big Bang.
  • No experimental confirmation exists yet due to extreme energies required.
