Lord’s test physicist, Dr. Teppei Katori, is a lead expert on information assembled by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in the quest for quantum gravity. The observatory, covered far below the Antarctic ice, identifies astrophysical neutrinos—subatomic particles that move billions of light years at high energy.
Research published in Nature Physical science covers the most recent discoveries from the IceCube. Scientists took information on the pieces of neutrinos seen by the IceCube over a period of seven and a half years and contrasted them with the normal creation, had they been impacted by changed space-time structure because of quantum gravity.
The trial tracked down no detectable proof of quantum gravity. It did, however, work on understanding models that could change the neutrino piece.
“Scientists from all around the world study neutrinos to learn more about the universe’s underlying structure. The IceCube measurements are assisting in pushing the boundaries of our understanding of space-time.”
Teppei
Remarking on the discoveries, Teppei said, “Researchers all around the world review neutrinos as an approach to examining the key make-up of the universe. The perceptions from the IceCube are assisting in pushing the limits of how we might interpret space-time. “
