Scientists are one step closer to a theory of quantum gravity after measuring gravity. By understanding quantum gravity, there is a glimmer of hope for solving some of the complex mysteries of the universe.
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity provides the best description of physics on massive cosmic scales. Scientists believe that quantum gravity will establish a unified framework that accommodates the theories of relativity and quantum theory. The research team has made progress in addressing this defect by detecting a weak force of attraction on a small particle using modern techniques.
