So much of what we think we know about <strong>physics simply breaks down at the quantum level, where particles behave in strange and\u2014thanks to the uncertainty principle\u2014unpredictable ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Theory of General Relativity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Einstein\u2019s general <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/theory-of-relativity-explained\/\">theory of relativity<\/a>, proposed in 1916, stipulated that gravity was a special force that existed because of the curvature of space-time itself.<\/strong> Space-time, according to this theory, is not flat. Thus, orbiting bodies travel in geodesics\u2014the shortest distance between two points. This is the nearest thing to a straight line. Thus, the Earth actually follows a linear path through four-dimensional space-time, but it <em>appears<\/em> to us to be an elliptical orbit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;It would also follow from general relativity that time would move at different speeds at different points in space<\/strong>. Because of the differing strength of a body\u2019s gravitational pull at different points in space-time and the effect this has on light-wave frequencies, events on Earth would appear to be taking a longer time to happen to an observer at the top of the mountain\u2014time would be moving quicker on the mountain because light from Earth would be reaching it at a lower frequency. This has actually been tested: clocks have been shown to run slower at higher altitudes than lower ones, as general relativity predicts they would. The main takeaway? <em>Everything<\/em> is relative. Bodies moving through space-time affect the curvature of space-time itself, which, in turn, affects the movement of those bodies. Nothing is static or absolute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparing It to Quantum Mechanics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The test of a good theory is if it describes observed reality and makes reliable and accurate predictions about the future. By these standards, general relativity is a good theory\u2014it successfully predicts the deviations in orbits, bolstering our faith in the theory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However, unanswered questions remain, the main one being the difficulty with reconciling the general relativity vs. quantum mechanics dilemma. <\/strong>The predictions of relativity break down when applied to the subatomic level of quantum mechanics. For example, general relativity describes the space-time as smooth and continuous. But according to quantum mechanics, it is quantized, that is, chunky and choppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">String Theory Bridges the Gap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best theory today that attempts to bridge the gap between general relativity and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/quantum-mechanics-theory\/\">quantum theory<\/a> is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/string-theory-explained\/\">string theory<\/a>. String theory replaces the concept of particles with strings\u2014instead of a particle occupying a single point in space at a single point in time, there are strings occupying a line in space across <em>each<\/em> point in time. Thus, all points correspond to a time and to a position on the string. Waves travel up and down the string, causing different strings to come together or split apart (a process analogous to particle collisions).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One complication with the string theory, however, is that for it to work, it requires up to 26 dimensions of space-time. One example of these extra dimensions would be a donut-shaped universe, in which, to travel from point A to point B, one would need to travel around the inner ring of the donut. But the shortest possible route would actually be to travel through the center\u2014a hitherto unimagined and inconceivable dimension!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is general relativity vs. quantum mechanics incompatible?
