University of Botswana physicists answer to Einstein
Physicists from the University of Botswana have developed a quantum-gravity theory called the Nexus Paradigm that successfully predicted the dimensions of supermassive black holes. This discovery, supported by telescope data, attempts to bridge the gap between Einstein's general relativity and quantum mechanics.
Why it matters
This represents a significant breakthrough in theoretical physics, potentially solving a major scientific mystery that remained unresolved since Einstein's death.
Dr Stuart Marongwe and Dr Moletlany iTshipa are both based in the University of Botswana’s Physics Department. Marongwe is the principal architect of the Nexus Paradigm, developed over nearly two decades. Christian Corda, of the Department of Mathematics and Physics at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in the United States, is the paper’s co-author.A quantum-gravity theory developed over two decades at the University of Botswana predicted the exact shape of two supermassive black holes and the world’s largest telescope has just confirmed it with 99.9972% statistical confidence, providing answers to Albert Einstein’s major question.Built in GaboroneThe theory behind the claim is known as the Nexus Paradigm.
