“We proved that the Einstein field equation from general relativity is actually a relativistic quantum mechanical equation,” the researchers note in their study.
In simple words, this new framework connects the science that governs the macroscopic world with that of the microscopic world.
Therefore, it has the potential to explain every physical phenomenon known to humanity ranging from the mysterious dark matter in space to the photons emitted by your phone’s flashlight.
“To date, no globally accepted theory has been proposed to explain all physical observations,” the researchers added. They claim that their theory can challenge the foundations of physics and change our understanding of the universe.
General relativity works well for large-scale objects, while quantum physics accurately describes microscopic phenomena, but what’s the need to unite them? Well, there are two big reasons for that. First, combining these would provide a complete understanding of the universe across all scales.
This is important because many concepts such as black holes or the Big Bang are probably results of the conditions where both quantum physics and general relativity played a role. Understanding them requires a theory that integrates both.
Second, one can not fully understand the science behind quantum gravity, Hawking radiation, string theory, and various other phenomena without connecting the dots between the theory of general relativity and quantum physics.
To link them, the researchers developed a mathematical framework that “Redefined the mass and charge of leptons (fundamental particles) in terms of the interactions between the energy of the field and the curvature of the spacetime.”
“The obtained equation is covariant in space-time and invariant with respect to any Planck scale. Therefore, the constants of the universe can be reduced to only two quantities: Planck length and Planck time,” the researchers note.

Burkhard Heim: Been there, done that.
I have more than a passing interest in physics. But the author never bothers to say who the researchers are, or where they work. They are just “the researchers”. I find that quite odd. Is the author just sloppy?
There are links in the article. The links lead to very technical stuff that I can follow, but will require more coffee.
Yes, you have the quantum for the micro world, and you have relativity for our world. But what about for the macro world? The macro world would be the way things work on the very large scale. An analogy would be, if we existed in the micro level with the quantum world, what would be the world of relativity? It would be one size larger than our world.
Some might say there are no laws pertaining to a macro world. How can we know for sure?
It’s just Indian clickbait with a lotta geewhiz BS that’s old news.
Thanks BenLurkin.
Worried about physics when a fungus is about to destroy the world’s banana crop? Get real.
“Nevermind that s___, Here Comes Mongo!”
Yup. The Banana Famine is upon us and the Strategic Banana Reserve’s just about tapped out. And all these guys can talk about is the fine structure of the universe.

Yeah, I miss the days when physicists did something practical, like maybe working on a better way to transmit power over long distances.
Now they spend (waste?) all their time, money, and effort investigating things like string theory. By the way, there is no hard experimental evidence for string theory at all. Yet it’s a big deal. Kinda like chasing after imaginary unicorns because someone drew a picture of one.
Side point: I taught college freshman physics for a time. But I knew I had no future in college teaching. As you can see from above, I have the wrong attitude.
I say as Richard Feynman would have said: BS!
there are a couple quite plausible theoretical connections between quantum field theory and Einstein’s theory of general relativity. the maths apparently work out pretty well. we await some verification, experimental validation...
(which will then certainly result in Nobel prizes, this is somewhat analogous to how Bell’s Theorum questioning local causality and thus Einstein’s firm gut feelings about the matter ... did not result in any Nobel prizes until there was experimental evidence for it years later)
So now, what use will mad scientists employed by Bill Gates, Klaus Schwabb, George Soros & Noel Yuval Harari make of this, to afflict billions of ordinary people who just want to mind their own business & be left alone?
Kamala H. is a co-author of this delirium...
if quantum fungus, then forget it
