Delving into Causal Dynamical Triangulation: Unraveling the Discrete Nature of Spacetime in Quantum Gravity

In the vast realms of theoretical physics, two fundamental theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: spacetime and quantum gravity. Spacetime, a concept introduced by Einstein's general relativity, provides a framework where the fabric of the universe is intertwined with the forces...

Is Gravity Lower at the Earth’s Equator and What Does This Have to Do With the Moon’s Orbit?

the Earth is not actually a perfect sphere and it doesn’t have perfectly spherical symmetry. Different parts of the Earth have different densities (because of variations in rocks and stuff). It’s possible to map these gravitational variations using satellites. Image: NASA. Va...
