General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics

General Relativity is Einstein’s theory describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy, explaining how planets orbit stars and light bends near massive objects. Quantum Mechanics governs the behavior of very tiny particles, like atoms and subatomic particles, where probabilities and uncertainties replace definite paths, revealing a world that’s fundamentally different from our everyday experience. While General Relativity deals with the large-scale structure of the universe, Quantum Mechanics explains the small-scale phenomena, and unifying them remains one of physics’ biggest challenges for a complete understanding of reality.
