Scientists Search for Evidence of Quantum Gravity at South Pole
Scientists are embarking on an ambitious quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe by searching for evidence of quantum gravity at the South Pole. A recent paper published in Nature Physics proposes using neutrino data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole to potentially uncover evidence for quantum gravity. Neutrinos, often referred to as ‘ghost particles,’ are electrically neutral and almost massless, enabling them to traverse vast distances through the universe without significant interactions.
