Ivette Fuentes: Can We Prove Gravity Is Not a Quantum Force?

Ivette Fuentes and Sir Roger Penrose probe whether gravity is quantum using quantum information theory — exploring quantum gravity research, quantum clocks, and the interface of QM and general relativity.0:00 Intro1:20 Unification in Physics4:15 Ivette’s Background21:00 Fundamental Questions Unanswered23:54 Quantum Theory and Relativity30:17 Superpositions33:49 Using Technology to Develop New Theories39:08 Exploring Large and Small Scales48:32 Long Range Experiments / Quantum Teleportation57:36 Quantum Clocks1:06:46 Relativistic Quantum Clock Model1:13:57 Does Gravity Collapse the Superposition?1:17:18 Where the Field is Now1:22:04 Bose-Einstein Condenstate1:26:11 New Device: Atom Interferometer1:37:38 Testing Ivette’s Predictions1:38:53 Outro / Support TOESPONSORS:- I personally subscribe to The Economist.
