Magical equation unites quantum physics, Einstein’s general relativity in a first


Scientists have finally figured out a way to connect the dots between the macroscopic and the microscopic worlds. Their magical equation might provide us answers to questions like why black holes don't collapse and how quantum gravity works.

When attempts were made to apply both theories together—such as in the case of black holes, they produced contradictory results, making it difficult to unify them into a single framework. This is important because many concepts such as black holes or the Big Bang are probably results of the conditions where both quantum physics and general relativity played a role. To link them, the researchers developed a mathematical framework that “Redefined the mass and charge of leptons (fundamental particles) in terms of the interactions between the energy of the field and the curvature of the spacetime.”
