A new theory of quantum & spacetime with Prof. Gerard Milburn
Gerard Milburn, a theoretical physicist specializing in quantum optics and foundations, proposes radical ideas at the quantum–gravity interface. He explores whether unmeasured pure quantum states fail to source gravity. Topics include Bell tests and spacetime labeling, gravity’s role in assigning coordinates, implications for black holes and the Big Bang, and possible limits on large-scale quantum technologies.
