The Hardest Problem in Physics - Quantum Gravity Explained Intuitively
Offered By: Arvin Ash via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the complex world of quantum gravity in this informative video. Delve into the evolution of gravity models, the necessity of quantum gravity, and the challenges of quantizing gravity. Examine the 3D Bronstein Cube, various approaches to quantizing gravity, and the difficulties of integrating other forces into General Relativity. Learn about String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity as potential solutions to this fundamental physics problem. Discover why quantum gravity matters and gain insights into the incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity. Understand the unique nature of gravity as a theory of spacetime itself and the experimental challenges in developing a quantum theory of gravity.
