Quantum Spacetime.

This article discusses the concept of "quantum gravity" and the importance of understanding the quantum nature of gravity in extreme situations like the early universe and black holes. It introduces two leading theories, loop quantum gravity and string theory, and highlights recent developments suggesting that laboratory experiments could reveal the quantum behavior of gravity. The experiments involve interference and aim to demonstrate that gravity itself is quantum in nature. The article explores the challenges of finding an object that is both large enough to show gravitational effects and small enough to exhibit its quantum nature. It also discusses the potential role of entanglement in observing quantum mechanical behavior of the gravitational field. The success or failure of these experiments could have significant implications for our understanding of the world and the connection between quantum theory and gravity. [Extracted from the article]
