Entanglement Builds Space-Time. Now “Magic” Gives It Gravity.
Physicists are exploring the relationship between quantum mechanics and the structure of space-time, particularly in the context of black holes. Recent research has identified a quantum property known as 'magic' that allows matter to influence the curvature of space-time. This discovery could provide new insights into the fundamental nature of gravity and the universe.
- ▪Physicists have traced the pliability of space-time to its quantum roots, specifically a measure known as 'magic.'
- ▪Entanglement between quantum particles has been found to give space-time its structure, allowing matter to move within it.
- ▪Recent studies have shown how quantum particles can cause space-time to bend, addressing a long-standing challenge in theoretical physics.
