![]() Good thing the boys and girls at the Rio Grande Corporation came up with gravity boots. We must take our quantum experiments into relativity’s realm – that marginal zone far above our heads.About This Game A Roguelike Space Adventure with an Epic TwistAcross the galaxy, gravitational fields are weakening, causing planets to implode. So what happens when one trespasses on the other’s territory? To find out, there is only one way to go. In fact they are fundamentally, mutually antagonistic. These two theories really don’t get along. ![]() But to predict how a satellite itself will move – or any large body, from falling apples to stars, galaxies and the universe itself – we must call on a very different mathematical construction: the rigid, space-warping equations of Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity. ![]() Its fuzzy uncertainties and instantaneous influences provide a peerless description of matter on the smallest scales. Deep within their sensors and electronic circuits, electrons and photons dance to the tune of our most fundamental theory of nature’s workings: quantum theory. These satellites too are a meeting point. Satellites wink and blink, monitoring, directing, communicating. Here, Earth’s gravity is too weak for atmospheric gases to linger, but the absolute emptiness of outer space has not yet quite begun. IT IS a meeting point, this vast expanse of near-nothingness hundreds of kilometres above our planet’s surface.
