Physicists from the University of Waterloo and collaborators have proposed a modification to Einstein’s general relativity, called quadratic quantum gravity, that replaces the Big Bang singularity ...
Physics World: Loop quantum cosmology may explain smoothness of cosmic microwave background
A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can describe a great deal about the universe once ...
Quantum gravity and cosmology represent a frontier in theoretical physics where the principles of quantum mechanics are integrated with the framework of general relativity. This synthesis is crucial ...

A New Approach to Understanding the Universe: The QMU Project Connects Quantum Physics, Gravity and Cosmology
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: But just because the Big Bang is our best answer for the beginning of everything, that doesn’t mean it’s the only one. In the early years, the main ...
Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...
Science Daily: A surprising new idea about how the Big Bang may have happened
Scientists at the University of Waterloo have uncovered a bold new way to explain how the universe began—one that could reshape our understanding of the Big Bang. Instead of relying on ...
