Tullio Regge

Tullio Regge was a theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum gravity and general relativity. He introduced a mathematical framework called "Regge calculus," which approximates curved spacetime—the fabric of the universe—using simple geometric building blocks like tiny, flat triangles. This approach helps scientists study how gravity works at very small scales, where traditional equations become difficult to solve. In essence, Regge’s work provides a way to examine the universe’s structure and behavior at the quantum level, bridging the gap between Einstein’s theory of gravity and modern quantum physics.
