The theoretical physicist and best-selling author finds inspiration in politics and philosophy for rethinking space and time.

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Another near-term application is the quantum gravity gradiometer being developed by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...
