Spacetime Foam: The First Path to Detect Quantum Gravity

Bedtime Astronomy

Researchers at the University of Warwick introduce a new framework to detect spacetime fluctuations, advancing the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity.

By defining three distinct signal types, the model turns abstract theory into testable signatures, enabling experiments with systems like LIGO and tabletop interferometers.

The result: quantum gravity moves from speculation into experimental science.
