Wild Experiment Reveals Quantum Objects Do Obey Gravity
Quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity explain how the Universe works at the tiniest and largest scales, respectively. Quantum mechanics has revealed the probabilistic nature of fundamental particles, while Einstein's general relativity describes how the fabric of spacetime is warped by mass and energy to produce gravity.
Scientists observe a fundamental principle of gravity affect the quantum world
For the first time, physicists have measured a tiny quantum effect that a particle builds up in the Earth's gravity field in the free fall. Thus, they were able to experimentally confirm an almost 100-year-old prediction of Einstein's relativity principle. (Read more)
