The Intertwining of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity
23:52 - 29:53 (06:01)
The clash between quantum mechanics and general relativity is an area of great excitement and potential for new discoveries in physics, as it suggests that there must be a more complete theory that incorporates both. This theory should involve modifications to Einstein's theory of gravity and account for quantum effects that deeply modify the equations.
