The connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity has been one of the greatest mysteries in modern physics. For over a century, scientists have worked tirelessly to unify these two pillars of theoretical physics, which describe reality on vastly different scales. While general relativity governs the macroscopic world of planets, stars, and galaxies, quantum mechanics rules the microscopic realm of particles, atoms, and subatomic interactions. These two frameworks have each been stunningly successful in their respective domains, yet they remain fundamentally incompatible. Now, for the first time, scientists believe they’ve solved the missing piece—bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and general relativity—and the implications of this discovery could reshape our understanding of the universe itself.
