Overview
What you will study
In the Quantum Gravity - The Theory of Everything course offered by University of Oxford , we will explore the motivations driving this research, including the quest to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics, two fundamental pillars of modern physics. We will investigate theoretical frameworks such as string theory, which proposes that the universe's fundamental building blocks are one-dimensional strings, or loop quantum gravity, which sees spacetime as a granular structure. We will also delve into the intricacies of each framework and gain valuable insights into the latest research in this field.
Explore the limits of our current understanding of the universe and discover the fascinating areas of inquiry that lie ahead. Whether you are an enthusiast or someone with some scientific background, this course will offer a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and ideas. You will deepen your understanding of one of the most intriguing scientific puzzles of our time.
