Episode notes
Ivette Fuentes proves gravity is not quantum using quantum information theory with Sir Roger Penrose. They explore how quantum information, quantum gravity research, and recent collaborations with Sir Roger Penrose shed light on the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity.
