Quantum 2.0, Gravity, and the Search for a Theory of Everything | Paul Davies

Описание: Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pillars of modern physics, yet they remain fundamentally incompatible. Quantum theory describes the strange behavior of particles at the smallest scales, while Einstein’s general relativity explains gravity, spacetime, and the structure of the universe. Both theories have been experimentally confirmed to extraordinary precision, but when physicists attempt to combine them, the mathematics breaks down. Reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity is widely considered the biggest unsolved problem in physics.

In this episode of Event Horizon, John Michael Godier speaks with physicist and cosmologist Paul Davies about the deep conflict between quantum mechanics and relativity and what it might take to resolve it. The conversation explores the origins of quantum theory, the mystery of quantum entanglement, the limits of theoretical physics, and why a theory of quantum gravity remains one of the most important goals in science.

Paul Davies also discusses the implications of quantum physics for information, technology, and the future of physics itself, as well as broader questions about the role of observers in the universe, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and whether advanced civilizations might leave detectable technological signatures in space.
