Story summary

Kunzinger and Sämann are pushing the boundaries of physics by investigating singularity theorems in non-smooth space-time. Their innovative approach uses optimal transport techniques to estimate Ricci curvature, revealing that singularities may endure in turbulent conditions. This groundbreaking research, bolstered by a €7 million grant, could be a key step toward unifying quantum gravity theories.
