Deep sea neutrino study places tighter constraints on quantum gravity
Rome, Italy (SPX) Mar 24, 2025 Quantum gravity, the elusive framework that would merge general relativity with quantum mechanics, remains one of modern physics' greatest unsolved puzzles. One of the most promising candidates for shedding light on this conundrum is the neutrino-a ghost-like particle that carries no electric charge and almost never interacts with matter, passing through the Earth undisturbed. Because of their weak interaction with other matter, detecting neutrinos is exceptionally challenging. On rare occasions, ... read more |
