The discussion centers on the relationship between quantum mechanics and general relativity, highlighting that photons, as the fundamental particles of light, play a crucial role in both theories. It asserts that while general relativity describes the bending of light by massive objects, quantum mechanics governs the behavior of particles at a subatomic level. The conversation emphasizes that a unified theory has yet to be established, particularly in extreme conditions like black holes and the Big Bang, where the mathematical frameworks of both theories yield contradictory results.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, cosmologists, and students of theoretical physics interested in the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity, particularly those exploring the quest for a unified field theory.
spidey said:People say that general relativity and quantum mechanics is not yet combined...i have a doubt,photon is the origin of quantum mechanics and light(photons) is bent by heavy mass and is the origin of general relativity...so this is the relation between quantum mechanics and general relativity..i don't know what other relations are we searching for? Or am i missing something?
