Quantum Loop Gravity

Quantum Loop Gravity (LQG) is a theoretical framework that aims to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity by describing spacetime as a network of tiny, discrete loops. Instead of viewing space as a smooth fabric, LQG proposes that it consists of finite, quantized chunks, woven together like a cosmic web. This approach seeks to explain phenomena like black holes and the Big Bang, where classical physics breaks down, by applying quantum principles directly to the geometry of spacetime itself. LQG offers a promising path toward understanding gravity at the smallest scales without requiring extra dimensions or hypothetical particles.
