| Loop quantum gravity Loop quantum gravity (LQG), also known as loop gravity and quantum geometry, is a proposed quantum theory of spacetime which attempts to reconcile the theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Loop Quantum Gravity suggests that space (i.e. the universe) can be viewed as an extremely fine fabric or network “weaved” of finite quantised loops (of excited gravitational fields) called spin networks.
