| Abstract | In modern physics nature is described by two theories. One is the “Standard Model,” which describes all material properties with quantum particles; the other is “General Relativity”, Einstein’s theory that describes gravitation. Most physicists think that there must be a connection between these two theories, but to date there is no experimental signature for such a connection. Furthermore, the discoveries of dark matter and dark energy suggest that gravitational phenomena exist that lie outside |
