In this episode Chiara Marletto and Professor Vlatko Vedral discuss a pioneering experiment that could reveal the quantum nature of gravity, putting Einstein’s classical general relativity to the test. They examine how quantum‑information methods and Constructor Theory might reshape our understanding of fundamental physics.- 00:00 - Introduction: Potential Falsification of General Relativity- 04:50 - The Quantum Gravity Conundrum- 09:30 - Gravitationally Induced Entanglement (GIE) Explained- 14:10 - Challenges in Testing Quantum Gravity with Current Technology- 19:00 - Unifying Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity- 23:45 - Constructor Theory’s Contribution to Quantum Gravity- 28:30 - Designing the GIE Experiment: Micro Crystals and Superposition- 33:15 - Technological Hurdles in Implementing GIE- 38:00 - Comparing GIE with Previous Experiments (Bose, Sugato)- 42:50 - Feasibility Studies and Experimental Setup Insights- 47:35 - Funding Fundamental Physics: Challenges and Strategies- 52:20 - AI’s Nobel Prize Controversy and Its Impact on Physics- 57:10 - Public Awareness and the Current State of Fundamental Physics- 1:02:00 - Future Directions in Quantum Gravity and Constructor Theory- 1:07:45 - Advice for Researchers: Bridging Theory and Experiment- 1:13:30 - Guidance for Young Physicists: Following Passion Over TrendsSPONSORS:- The Economist: 20% off discount – https://www.economist.com/toeRESOURCES:- New Substack!
