Einstein’s gravity observed in the quantum world
A team of researchers, including Nobel Laureate in Physics Roger Penrose, has observed for the first time an effect of gravity on a falling quantum object that had long been predicted. The result demonstrates that a fundamental principle underpinning Einstein’s theory of gravity remains consistent with the behaviour of matter in the quantum world. The study, published in the journal Science Advances, does not unify quantum mechanics and gravity, nor does it prove that gravity itself is quantum.
