Why is gravity the only force that refuses to play by the rules? In this deep dive, we explore the history and current status of the search for a "Theory of Everything"—the holy grail of physics that aims to unify Einstein’s General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. This series takes you to the frontlines of the battle between the two biggest contenders: String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity. We explain why the "Graviton" is the most elusive particle in the universe, why gravity is so shockingly weak, and whether we might be wrong about the fundamental nature of reality.

The Big Bounce: Gravity Without Infinity

Is the Big Bang truly the beginning, or just a moment in an eternal cosmic cycle? This episode investigates Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC), the application of Loop Quantum Gravity that challenges the concept of infinite density. By treating gravity as the geometry of spacetime itself, LQC introduces a repulsive quantum force that prevents the universe from collapsing, suggesting our universe was born from a "bounce" rather than a bang.

We will also look at the hunt for proof: from "Planck stars" hiding inside black holes to the search for "threshold anomalies" in gamma-ray bursts that could prove space is granular. Tune in to understand why LQG is the leading background-independent rival to String Theory and how it attempts to answer the ultimate question: What is the shape of space?
