USA, May 25 – Two researchers from Aalto University in Finland, Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki, have unveiled a revolutionary proposal: a reinterpretation of gravity that doesn't require hidden dimensions or undiscovered particles, unlike the popular string theory.
The most striking thing about this new vision is that it uses only known physical constants, making it verifiable through future experiments.
Published in Reports on Progress in Physics, the theory presents gravity not as a curvature of space-time, as Einstein proposed, but as an interaction based on four entangled fields, similar to those of electromagnetism.
In this way, gravity could be integrated into the Standard Model of physics alongside the other three fundamental forces: electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and strong nuclear.
According to Partanen, the goal is to build a theory of gravity more consistent with the symmetries that govern quantum physics, and leave behind the dependence of space-time symmetry on general relativity.
Although promising, the model is still in its initial theoretical phase. Researchers have proven that it works with first-order terms, but they still need to demonstrate that its structure is valid at all mathematical levels through the renormalization process, which is key to avoiding the infinities that often ruin these types of theories.
