quantum gravity
Quantum gravity is a theoretical framework that attempts to unite two fundamental theories in physics: quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of particles at a very small scale, and general relativity, which explains gravity and the behavior of objects on a cosmic scale. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of spacetime and gravity by incorporating the principles of quantum mechanics into the theory of gravity.
