Quantum particles can feel the influence of gravitational fields they never touch.

The study not only reveals a famed physics effect in a new context, but also showcases the potential to study subtle effects in gravitational systems. For example, researchers aim to use this type of technique to better measure Newton’s gravitational constant, G, which reveals theA phenomenon called interference is key to this experiment. In quantum physics, atoms and other particles behave like waves that can add and subtract, just as two swells merging in the ocean make a larger wave.

At the top of the vacuum chamber, the researchers placed a hunk of tungsten with a mass of 1.25 kilograms. To isolate the Aharonov-Bohm effect, the scientists performed the same experiment with and without this mass, and for two different sets of launched atoms, one which flew close to the mass, and the other lower. Each of those two sets of atoms were split into superpositions, with one path traveling closer to the mass than the other, separated by about 25 centimeters.

The two theories that underlie this experiment, general relativity and quantum mechanics, don’t work well together. Scientists don’t know how to combine them to describe reality. So, for physicists, says Guglielmo Tino of the University of Florence, who was not involved with the new study, “probing gravity with a quantum sensor, I think it’s really one of … the most important challenges at the moment.

Fabulous science.

Quantam theories lie in a very different sphere than normal theories.

It’s a no brainer. Everything within this universe, from all particles to all astronomical systems, is governed by the overall rotation of the universe and associated electromagnetic fields. So of course.

No shit 😂

The analogy you used in first paragraph is not wrong? As you said,cat in the path is a FEELING.But particles at quantum level has INFLUENCE.FEELING is a result of brain conditioning, Is it not?But physical INFLUENCE is a reality. Cat has no INFLUENCE in reality. So no 'Likewise'.

Every particle and field has sub fields at every level ad enfinitum. And these fields can and do interact - no black magic. This is the door way to alternate realities and dimensions.

Interesting.🙂

I think the significant idea in this is the 'theory' that time passes more slowly near a hi mass object. We humans cannot wrap our minds around this because we cannot escape time to look at it from the outside. If we could we would find that time is fluid.

Quantum state polarity? What is the cause of the attractive/repulsive variance?

you posted this 10hrs ago. most physicists haven't even let it click yet, to realize gravity wells are the path to warp capabilities. it will, in time, when they comprehend entangled particles are the most important discovery in the history of science and the universe.

Does this bring us closer to being able to manipulate gravity in any significant way?

Gravity is Multidimensional Quantum energy of the God God Quantum Lens will reveal this Tesla from Pleiades

Brilliant.🙏

Amazing science.🙏🙂

SPOOKY PHYSICS.

poke astropierre toi qui parlais de physique récemment =)

Because they are so alike, and akin to one another, is this not the parabolic maximum of rhetorical logic to hold them together not as apple to orange, as one superior unit of force? I think it does apply. MIT_Physics

water surface at rest is horizontal and level water is level. level is horizontal. horizontal is a straight line. a straight line does not curve. ever. in any direction. the surface of all water on earth factually has no curvature - 70% of the earth's surface is water.

Incredible news!

Any closer to my jetpack?😜

It looks like japan

If we are ever to find gravitons, then we have to start from this assumption.

Love this research. 💛🙏

The quantum revolution questioned the nature of realityQuantum mechanics is at the heart of everything that made the century just past so dramatically unlike the century preceding it. SN100 The sooner we acknowledge that quantum mechanics is bogus, the sooner we can make the century ahead one of fantastic achievement instead of fantastic fantasy. We're celebrating our 100th anniversary by exploring major advances across the sciences that have transformed our understanding of the world and our universe, and our lives. Learn more: SN100 Wrong. While correct in recognizing the quantized nature of energy, quantum mechanics gave up the task of explaining matter. Instead, it used abstract math to play with & misinterpret quantum data, creating a subjective/wrong “quantum reality” that it now imposes on reality.

A century of quantum mechanics questions the fundamental nature of realityA century after the quantum revolution, the nature of reality is still unknown. SN100 You say 'quantum is a revolution.' What was Max revolting against his obscurity? Nonsense. The foundations of reality stay the same at any scale. Quantum mechanics should question its own nature: a messy conceptual framework that fails to understand the physical reality properly. The past century has been a huge detour for science. ...the link is just to piss you off.........

Scientists Have Detected a Faint Hint of The Background Hum of The UniverseEver since scientists made the first detection of gravitational waves from a pair of colliding black holes in 2015, evidence has been growing that the Universe ought to be full of them. What key is it in? Would have been interesting for the writer to speculate on some of the implications from substantiating that this faint humming actually is happening. Finally a tune... Nice.😊
