Is Loop Quantum Gravity the Theory of Everything
The closest thing we have to an all-encompassing framework that explains all particles and forces is represented by the Standard Model of particle physics. But this model is flawed because it does not explain gravity.A theory of everything has to be able to reconcile quantum mechanics with the general theory of relativity.
This reconciliation appears to be possible with a theory called “Loop Quantum Gravity” -- or LQG. What is it?
The theory of LQG attempts to show that this geometric fabric of space-time is not continuous as Einstein presumed, but is itself quantum, made up of discrete quanta.
