Which theory attempts to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity by describing spacetime as a quantum field?

  1. String Theory

  2. Loop Quantum Gravity

  3. Causal Dynamical Triangulation

  4. Twistor Theory


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

String Theory is a theoretical framework in physics that attempts to unify all the fundamental forces and particles by postulating that they are different vibrational modes of tiny, one-dimensional objects called strings.

What is the name of the theory that proposes that spacetime is composed of discrete, indivisible units called 'atoms of spacetime'?

  1. Causal Dynamical Triangulation

  2. Loop Quantum Gravity

  3. Twistor Theory

  4. Supergravity


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Loop Quantum Gravity is a theory that attempts to quantize gravity by describing spacetime as a network of interconnected loops.

Which theory proposes that spacetime is a foam-like structure, with tiny, fluctuating regions of spacetime called 'spacetime foam'?

  1. Twistor Theory

  2. String Theory

  3. Causal Dynamical Triangulation

  4. Supergravity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Causal Dynamical Triangulation is a theory that attempts to quantize gravity by constructing spacetime from a network of discrete building blocks called 'simplices'.
