Elegant Universe»rank: 23387par: Brian Greene
Chroniques et points de vue:From :There is an ill-concealed skeleton in the closet of physics: 'As they are currently formulated, general relativity and quantum mechanics cannot both be right.' Each is exceedingly accurate in its field: general relativity explains the behavior of the universe at large scales, while quantum mechanics describes the behavior of subatomic particles. Yet the theories collide horribly under extreme conditions such as black holes or times close to the big bang. Brian Greene, a specialist in quantum field theory, believes that the two pillars of physics can be reconciled in ... |
