What is quantum gravity

• 
  
  • Answer: Quantum gravity is a theoretical framework that seeks to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. It's a major unsolved problem in physics, and theories like string theory and loop quantum gravity are attempts to describe how gravity works at the quantum level

Wave-particle duality: What is it?

• It's the principle that matter and radiation have both wave and particle characteristics.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: What does it state?

• 
  
  • It states that you cannot know the precise position and momentum of a particle at the same time. The more accurately you measure one, the less accurately you can measure the other.

800000

Antiparticles: What are they

• The Dirac equation shows that every particle has a corresponding antiparticle with the same mass but opposite charge.

Quantum state and wave function: How are they described?

• A quantum state is described mathematically by a wave function.
• The square of the wave function's magnitude gives the probability of finding the particle at a specific location at a given time.
• This means a particle isn't in a single location but exists as a "spread out" probability distribution until measured. 

quantum physics

Why can't particles travel faster than the speed of light?

• 
  
  • According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases infinitely, requiring an infinite amount of energy to accelerate it further. This makes it impossible for any object with mass to reach or exceed the speed of light.

200000

Why don't electrons in an atom collapse into the nucleus?

• Answer: Electrons don't collapse because they exist in specific, discrete energy levels, or "orbitals," and are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. They cannot exist in a state of lower energy than their ground state, which prevents them from spiraling into the nucleus. 

400000

Is a quantum particle in multiple places at once, or does it just have a definite location we don't know?

• 
  
  • Answer: According to quantum mechanics, a particle exists in a "superposition" of all its possible states simultaneously, meaning it doesn't have a single, definite location until a measurement is made. It's not a matter of our ignorance; the particle is truly "spread out" in a probabilistic way until observed.

800000

Why don't quantum effects only happen on the atomic scale

• 
  
  • nswer: Quantum effects are present at all scales, but they are most noticeable at the atomic and subatomic levels. For macroscopic objects, the wave-like properties are so small that they are practically undetectable, making classical physics a sufficient description of their behavior. 

1600000

Why can't both general relativity and quantum mechanics be correct together?

• Answer: The two theories are not directly incompatible. However, they are difficult to reconcile, especially in extreme environments like the singularity of a black hole or the moments after the Big Bang. Quantum field theory can be applied on the curved spacetime of general relativity, but a complete, unified theory of "quantum gravity" is still a major unsolved problem in physics.
