Quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of gravity explain almost everything we see in nature, yet physicists still do not know how to unite them. A new theoretical framework suggests that some experiments that appear to show gravity behaving quantum mechanically may have a much more ordinary explanation.

A new theoretical framework suggests that some experiments that appear to show gravity behaving quantum mechanically may have a much more ordinary explanation.
Researchers found that scenarios involving a supposed "superposition of gravity" can sometimes be described equally well as quantum particles moving through classical spacetime.
