Relativity and quantum mechanics are the two pillars of modern physics

Gravity's quantum effects are incredibly tiny compared to the gravitational influence of electromagnetic fields. In fact, the gravitational coupling constant is about 43 orders of magnitude smaller than the fine structure constant. This makes gravitons, the hypothetical particles that mediate gravity, practically unobservable. However, scientists have proposed indirect methods to detect these elusive quantum effects. Recently, two groundbreaking papers published in *Physical Review Letters* (PRL) presented similar experimental proposals. One was developed by Sougato Bose and his team at University College London, while the other came from Chiara Marletto and Vlatko Vedral at the University of Oxford. Both studies aim to explore whether gravity can induce quantum entanglement between two particles, offering a potential way to observe gravity’s quantum nature. Relativity and quantum mechanics are the two foundational pillars of modern physics. Together, they successfully explained two major mysteries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: the Michelson-Morley experiment and blackbody radiation. These theories revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and the behavior of matter at both macroscopic and microscopic scales. In 1905, Einstein published four revolutionary papers, earning that year the nickname “Einstein’s miracle year.” He introduced the concept of relativity and the idea that time is relative. Earlier, in 1877, Boltzmann suggested that energy levels could be quantized, and in 1900, Planck proposed that electromagnetic energy is emitted in discrete packets. Einstein later used this idea to explain the photoelectric effect with the concept of light quanta. Over the next few decades, scientists like Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Dirac, and many others laid the foundation for quantum mechanics. Classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics were eventually unified under quantum field theory, which became essential in particle physics and condensed matter physics. Despite its success, quantum field theory has struggled to incorporate general relativity, one of the four fundamental forces. While the strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions are described by quantum field theories with specific symmetries—such as quantum chromodynamics and quantum electrodynamics—gravity remains an outlier. The quest for a "Theory of Everything" aims to unify all physical laws into a single framework. String theory and loop quantum gravity are among the most promising candidates. The path to such a theory involves gradually integrating different levels of physics, starting from the standard model up to a more fundamental description of reality. Currently, quantum field theory is considered an effective approximation of a deeper theory, especially at low energies. It works well for describing interactions, but it cannot account for gravity at the quantum level. The challenge lies in reconciling general relativity, which describes gravity on large scales, with quantum mechanics, which governs the subatomic world. This incompatibility becomes particularly problematic in extreme conditions, such as near black holes or during the early universe. To address this, physicists are exploring new ways to test quantum gravity, including experiments that look for quantum entanglement caused solely by gravitational interaction. The recent PRL papers suggest an innovative approach: placing two massive particles in separate interferometers. If the particles become entangled due to gravitational interaction alone, it would provide direct evidence of gravity’s quantum nature. Although the experiments are technically challenging—requiring precise control over quantum states and eliminating other interactions—they represent a significant step toward understanding gravity at the quantum level. If successful, these experiments could lead to a major breakthrough in physics, potentially paving the way for a unified theory that explains all fundamental forces and deepens our understanding of the universe.

Programming Instructions
• Plug the Remoce Socket$($)lnto the wall socket(s) and switch on the mams supply, the red LED will flash every second.
• If the LED is not flashing press & hold the manual ON/OFF button for 5 seconds until it Hashes

•Press any ON switch on the Remote Control for approximately 2 seconds and the Remote Socket(s) learn the code. The LED will stop flashing top confirm the codehas been accepted.
• Any number of Remote Sockets can be programmed to one Remote Control ON button to create multiple switching.
• To programme o<her Remote Sockets on different Remote Control ON buttons repeat the prevous steps
• If the mains supply is turned off the Remote Sockets v/ill lose their code and it wil be necessary to re-pcogramme.
Operation:
• Plug your appliance(s) into the Remote Socket(s)
