Physicists have proposed a groundbreaking tabletop experiment to test whether gravity follows the rules of quantum mechanics.
Feature | General Relativity | Quantum Mechanics |
Domain | Large-scale structures (planets, galaxies, universe) | Small-scale structures (atoms, subatomic particles) |
Description of Gravity | Gravity is the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. | Gravity is described as a force mediated by gravitons (hypothetical particles). |
Nature of Spacetime | Continuous and smooth. | Discrete and probabilistic (at Planck scale). |
Determinism | Generally deterministic (though there are some edge cases) | Fundamentally probabilistic. |
Objects Described | Macroscopic objects, spacetime itself. | Fundamental particles, atoms. |
Mathematical Framework | Tensor calculus, Riemannian geometry. | Linear algebra, Hilbert spaces, probability amplitudes. |
Key concept | Spacetime curvature | Probability wave functions. |
Primary focus | Gravity. Space time. | Fundamental particles and interactions. |
