Physicists are exploring the connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity to create a unified theory called 'quantum gravity.'
Researchers at Utah State University are studying the holographic principle, suggesting the universe might be like a three-dimensional hologram described by information on a two-dimensional surface.
Testing theories of quantum gravity is challenging due to technological limitations, so physicists use mathematical models like the holographic principle for predictions.
The research on the holographic principle by Varela, Katyal, and their team aims to uncover how quantum mechanics and general relativity can be reconciled, advancing the understanding of the physical world.
