ABSTRACT

Making General relativity and quantum mechanics combine into one unified theory of quantum gravity proves to be the biggest scientific challenge facing modern physics. This paper develops a modern approach to quantum gravity as it investigates physical theory development from classic electromagnetism through M-theory to present a new quantum gravity equation. The equation applies Einstein field equation extensions added with quantum-geometric corrections and non-commutative spacetime features and holographic principles to establish new quantum gravity solutions. The ads/CFT correspondence serves as an investigative tool to study quantum space-time behavior for advancing understanding of black hole physics and cosmological and high-energy studies. The speculative equation stands as a major advancement in the effort to bridge macroscopic and microscopic universe descriptions even though it needs additional mathematical and physical evidence to support its validity.
