The theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity have held up time and again at describing the physics of our universe at a micro and a macro scale, but when it comes to gravity, the two pose a major problem that physicists haven't been able to resolve: for certain interactions, the two theories describe two different outcomes. Finding out what actually happens in those interactions isn't so simple — such reactions have minute differences that are seemingly undetectable. But according to Quanta Magazine , more and more researchers are beginning think it might soon be possible to detect them.
As instruments gain more precision and researchers explore new ways of studying this problem, the possibility of soon resolving the...
