Something big in the world of theoretical physics is happening. Researchers have developed a new mathematical framework which shows that the general relativity Albert Einstein agrees with the principles of Quantum physics. This discovery could well fill the gap between these two pillars of science and enlighten still mysterious physical phenomena.
Connect the infinitely large to the infinitely small, is it possible?
General relativity is this theory that explains to us how space, time and gravity work on a large scale. On the other side, we have quantum physics that takes care of small particles such as electrons or photons. The new mathematical framework creates a bridge between these two worlds, thus connecting the macroscopic to the microscopic. Imagine being able to explain the dark matter as well as the photons issued by your phone!
Since a lease, physicists have been trying to unite these theories to have a complete vision of the universe. Complex concepts such as black holes or big bang require a theory that integrates both general relativity and quantum physical. Until now, none had made consensus to explain everything. But this new model could well upset our current knowledge.
What surprises holds this mathematical framework for us?
The researchers redesigned key concepts such as the mass and the load of the leptons by considering how the energy of the field interacts with the curvature of space-time. The equation obtained respects all the rules (it is covariant in space-time) and simplifies our universe with two fundamental measures: Planck length and time. It could really transform our understanding of natural laws.
This equation proves that that of Einstein is equal to a relativistic quantum equation, finally offering answers to a lot of questions that have remained unanswered: why don't black holes collapse? What were the initial conditions of Big Bang? How does entanglement into space-time work?
Does James Webb confirm this new theory?
The James Webb space telescope recently observed galaxies old only 300 million years after the Big Bangwhat we thought was impossible so far according to our classic models. But now this new theory sheds light on these amazing observations! Researchers explain: “In recent years, James Webb has seen several phenomena … Our proposed theory perfectly accounts for this”.
-Published in the scientific newspaper Astroparticle Physicsthis study marks an important step towards a unified theory capable of revolutionizing our understanding of the cosmos.
This promising progress clearly shows that we must continue to explore and question our established knowledge to better understand our place in this complex and fascinating universe. So let's stay curious about the mysteries around us!
