Episode description

In recent years, one of the most elusive topics in physics has been the quest to unify quantum mechanics with general relativity — a challenge often framed as the search for a viable theory of quantum gravity. While gravity is well understood at macroscopic scales, such as the orbits of planets and the dynamics of stars, interactions at the quantum level remain a compelling mystery. Recent advancements from the University of Würzburg are providing exciting new avenues to explore this enigma in the laboratory, potentially reshaping our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature.
