A bold attempt to solve the most difficult puzzle in the heart of physics star-news.press/wp

Physics is difficult. Do you want to discover ripple in space? You just need a detector who is able to see a length changes less than a million corn size. Want to find Buson Higgs? No problem – as long as you have 7 billion dollars, 14 years and 6000 worlds to deliver it. However, one of the experience is very difficult to make even the most conflict physicist: testing the idea that gravity is quantum.

The quantum gravity theory is the outstanding goal of modern physics. You will match two incompatible pillars at the present time to describe the universe: general relativity, gravity theory on a large scale; And quantum mechanics, our microscopic account of the other basic forces of nature. Individually, it was tested completely, and always passes in flying colors. However, try to combine them, and things collapse. If we can show that the weight is in nature, perhaps by finding a quantitative particle of it, the problem will be solved. However, even the most powerful detection devices do not approach the unusually high energies that are believed to find the so -called army.

Not so long ago, the late scene, Friman Dyson, echoed the mood among many physicists when he said quantum gravity may be simply not test. But recently, some began to claim that it might not be. If this is true, we can soon see the first hints of how the basic nature theories are related to each other. “It seems to me that it is technologically, the time is right,” he says. Valento Verkal …
