We investigate effects of the modified $f(R, \mathcal{T})$ gravity on the charged strange quark stars with the standard choice of $f(R, \mathcal{T})=R+2\chi \mathcal{T}$. Those types of stars are supposed to be made of strange quark matter…
We propose a form of gravity-matter interaction given by $\omega RT$ in the framework of $f(R,T)$ gravity and examine the effect of such interaction in spherically symmetric compact stars. Treating the gravity-matter coupling as a…
When gravity is quantum, the point structure of space-time should be replaced by a non-commutative geometry. This is true even for quantum gravity in the infrared. Using the octonions as space-time coordinates, we construct a pre-spacetime,…

A satisfactory theory of quantum gravity may necessitate a drastic modification of our perception of space-time, by giving it a foamy structure at distances comparable to the Planck length. It is argued in this essay that the experimental…
