The meaning of spacetime: Black holes, wormholes and quantum entanglement
We start by describing the geometrical notions central to Einstein's theory of gravity. We then discuss current ideas for how spacetime geometry could emerge in a quantum theory of gravity. We will see that quantum entanglement plays a crucial role.
