Imagine: a static quantum wave, frozen in time, harbors an entire universe. If you interpret its amplitude as a probability distribution of 'internal time', spacetime curvature grows out of it on its own — with no gravity at all. This means gravity might not be a fundamental force, but a shadow of quantum laws.

🎯 When Georges Lemaître first proposed the expansion hypothesis, Albert Einstein replied, "Your calculations are correct, but your physical picture is abominable." Today, this hypothesis is the cornerstone of cosmology.

🎬 In the movie Interstellar, the heroes travel through a wormhole — a tunnel in curved spacetime, similar to the one that spontaneously emerges from a quantum wave in the new theory.
