loop quantum cosmology
Loop quantum cosmology is a theoretical framework that combines quantum mechanics and general relativity to better understand the early universe. It proposes that space and time are fundamentally discrete and quantized, suggesting that the cosmos underwent a series of cycles, or "loops," rather than having a single beginning. This approach aims to resolve some of the paradoxes and limitations encountered when studying the universe at very small scales or near its origin.
