We live in a quantum universe. That's a core finding in physics. Due to inherent problems of scale, we have not yet resolved gravity at the quantum scale. Nevertheless, there is little doubt that there lies something new there.

This article is nothing new but it is a clear exposition of the issues.

Happy to R&K.
