Astronomy Physical Sciences Why do we need Quantum Gravity? General relativity is classical in nature while quantum mechanics upholds the idea of quantization and interference at the subatomic scale. Quantum (field) theory successfully accommodates all the interactions of nature in its framework but gravity (this framework is called the Standard Model of Particle Physics). However, general relativity is the only available tool to study all the manifestations of the gravitational field.

Astronomy News A Humongous Black Hole – Should It Even Exist? Multiple experts and astrophysicists have recently been discussing reports that the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave detectors have picked up a signal of a huge black hole that’s reportedly as heavy as 100 suns. Black holes, being intensely dense spheres with gravity so strong that everything gets trapped inside them, including light, are formed from the […] Written by Safwan Azeem 2019-10-062021-09-16 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
