A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

A quantum theory of gravity would clear the path to answering some of the biggest questions in physics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A bold new quantum theory of gravity may finally bridge the ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...
