Secrets of the universe. Theory of relativity, quantum mechanics and black holes
Description
Black holes are one of the greatest mysteries in the universe - scary but fascinating! Are they the gateway to a new interpretation of general relativity that takes quantum mechanics into account? Can the greatest problem of modern physics be solved in this way? So far we have not been able to unify the two most successful theories in physics, quantum mechanics and general relativity! Quantum mechanics is responsible for the smallest building blocks in the universe. The general theory of relativity describes the movement of the planets around the sun and the universe as a whole. Are quantum mechanics and general relativity two sides of the same medal?
