One clock with two times: When quantum mechanics meets general relativity

One clock with two times: When quantum mechanics meets general relativity | Science News | Scoop.it

The unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity is one of the most exciting and still open questions in modern physics. General relativity, the joint theory of gravity, space and time gives predictions that become clearly evident on a cosmic scale of stars and galaxies. Quantum effects, on the other hand, are fragile and are typically observed on small scales, e.g. when considering single particles and atoms.
