Why Physics Still Can’t Explain Most of the Universe

from The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast · host Synthetic Universe

Modern physics faces a profound challenge: its two most successful theories, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, describe reality in fundamentally different ways.At the same time, most of the universe appears to consist of dark matter and dark energy—phenomena we still cannot fully explain. Some researchers propose that space, time, and even reality itself may emerge from deeper informational structures beyond everyday intuition. If true, the cosmos could be far stranger than our minds evolved to comprehend, forcing science to confront the possibility that reality is built upon principles far more abstract than anything we currently understand.This episode includes AI-generated content.
