MARCH 8, 2024 - Quantum Gravity Unveiled
– Scientists Crack the Cosmic Code That Baffled Einstein
By UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON
-----
Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after
working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level.
Experts have never fully understood how the force discovered by Isaac Newton
works in the tiny quantum world.
Even Einstein was baffled by quantum gravity and, in his theory of general relativity,
said there is no realistic experiment that could show a quantum version of gravity.
A Breakthrough in Quantum Gravity
#
The experiment, published in the Science Advances journal, used levitating magnets
to detect gravity on microscopic particles – small enough to border on the quantum realm.
#
Pioneering Gravity Research
Lead author Tim Fuchs, from the University of Southampton, said . . .
“From here we will start scaling the source down using this technique
until we reach the quantum world on both sides."
#
“Unravelling these mysteries will help us unlock more secrets about the universe’s
very fabric, from the tiniest particles to the grandest cosmic structures.”

1- Experiment was measured at "temperatures a hundredth of a degree above absolute zero –
- about minus-273 degrees Celsius."
It means to measuring quantum gravity needs reference frame of cosmic vacuum.
2- To ''reach the quantum world on both sides." needs "magneton" and
"gravity particles on microscopic quantum level"
3- Do "magnetons" ( magnetic monopoles) exist?

would electrons be unaffected by gravity?

would the effect of gravity on the nucleus effect the electrons secondarily?

gravity would be faster than the speed of light...

Gravity is effect of matter and energy
Quantum Gravity is effect of quantum matter and quantum energy
