The General Theory of Relativity is supported by an impressive body of astronomical observation. Relativity explains the orbital eccentricities of Mercury, the “stretching” of light from heavy stars, ...

What if gravity isn’t weirdly quantum at all, but rather … just a bit messy? The holy grail of theoretical physics is to find the long-sought theory of quantum gravity. But what if this theory is as ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
