Study links quantum theory with spacetime's discrete units

A new study suggests that spacetime may consist of tiny, indivisible units, which could help explain gravity using quantum theory. This approach aims to bridge the gap between Einstein's relativity and quantum mechanics, especially in extreme conditions like black holes. Currently, scientists think energy can be released infinitely, complicating quantum gravity equations. The study proposes that if spacetime is made of discrete units, it could simplify these equations, similar to how energy exists in small packets called quanta. The research could provide insights into how gravity operates at the quantum level, particularly in extreme scenarios like the Big Bang and black holes. This could lead to a better understanding of fundamental physics.
