ANNOUNCEMENT: Testing the Limits of Gravity w/ Penrose Λ Fuentes

1 hour 13 minutes

Sir Roger Penrose and Professor Ivette Fuentes analyze the Ron Folman T-cubed experiment and whether the equivalence principle holds in quantum mechanics. They also detail gravity's role in wave function collapse, the existence of gravitons, and cyclic cosmology.
