Illustration of the theory used to model quantum gravity: The lattice simulates a curved space-time - near the boundry, the lattice is denser due to the curvature. The interacting electrical signals (yellow, red and blue lines) in the bulk simulate the gravitational dynamics. The dynamics in the bulk and at the outer boundary correspond to each other. They are consistent with the AdS/CFT correspondence. (Image: Erdmenger/JMU, Böttcher/Alberta)
Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat have developed a method to model a central theory of quantum gravity in the laboratory. Their goal: to decipher previously unexplained phenomena in the quantum world.
Gravity is no longer a mystery to physicists - at least when it comes to large distances: thanks to science, we can calculate the orbits of planets, predict tides, and send rockets into space with precision. ...
