The greatest challenge for physics is to combine its two most successful theories: general relativity and quantum mechanics. The resulting quantum theory of gravity would explain the universe across all scales. Much has been said about the approach based on string theory. Here, Jim Baggott describes its powerful rival: Loop Quantum Gravity.

Jim Baggott is a freelance science writer. He was a lecturer in chemistry at the University of Reading but left to work with Shell International Petroleum Company, and then as an independent business consultant and trainer. His many books include Quantum Reality: The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - A Game of Theories (OUP, 2020), Mass: The Quest to Understand Matter from Greek Atoms to Quantum Fields (OUP, 2017), Origins: The Scientific Story of Creation(OUP, 2015), Higgs: The Invention and Discovery of the 'God Particle' (OUP, 2012), The Quantum Story: A History in 40 Moments (OUP, 2011), and A Beginners Guide to Reality (Penguin, 2005).
