Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore a groundbreaking lecture on the intersection of classical and quantum systems, with implications for understanding dark matter and spacetime. Delve into the derivation of a general classical-quantum evolution equation, combining Lindbladian and Fokker-Planckian characteristics. Examine how this formalism applies to general relativity, questioning the quantum nature of spacetime. Investigate the resulting stochastic processes and their potential to explain galactic rotation curves without invoking dark matter. Learn about the computed modifications to the expectation value of the metric and the emergence of an entropic force at low accelerations. Gain insights into cutting-edge research that challenges conventional theories and offers new perspectives on fundamental questions in physics and cosmology.
