Gravitons Vs. General Relativity: The Battle for Gravity Explained

In this first installment of our exciting 2-parter we take a look at the clash that is happening between the classical and quantum mechanical view of gravity. This is a mystery which has plagued physicists for decades and if solved could change the way we understand the universe and give us a major breakthrough in the standard model and the development of the theory of everything.
