For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity.
For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes gravity and the fabric of space. But despite their individual success, bringing them together has remained one of science’s greatest unsolved problems.
Now, a team of researchers at University College London has introduced a bold new idea. Rather than tweaking Einstein’s theory to fit into quantum rules, they suggest flipping the script. Their model, called a “postquantum theory of classical gravity,” aims to rethink the deep link between gravity and the quantum world.
Quantum mechanics thrives on probabilities, uncertainty, and the strange behavior of subatomic particles. It’s helped explain the structure of atoms and power modern technology. Meanwhile, general relativity offers a grand view of the universe, where planets and stars bend spacetime and create what we feel as gravity.
But these two worldviews clash at the deepest levels. When scientists try to combine them, the math breaks down. Equations become inconsistent. Models collapse. Despite decades of effort, no unified framework has fully solved the puzzle.

Divide Between Quantum Mechanics and Relativity
What makes the UCL proposal stand out is its refusal to force gravity into a quantum mold. Instead, it explores how classical gravity might interact with quantum systems in entirely new ways. This shift opens a door to theories that haven’t been fully explored before.
“Physicists have often assumed that Einstein’s theory must be modified,” the researchers noted. “But what if the problem isn’t gravity at all? What if it’s the quantum part that needs rethinking?” This provocative question lies at the heart of their approach.
If proven, their work could transform how we view the universe. It offers a new path one that doesn’t aim to crush gravity into quantum form, but instead lets each theory play by its own rules. That simple yet radical idea could help solve one of the most stubborn mysteries in physics.
