Oral

Einstein’s theory of General Relativity gives a description of the gravitational force that has been checked accurately for large systems such as planets and stars. However, it should also be valid at the scale of single atoms and molecules. A serious complication however is that these tiny particles behave in accordance with the laws of quantum mechanics, and while these laws are understood...
