"Revolutionary Theory Proposes Unified Explanation for Gravity and Quantum Mechanics"

A group of researchers has proposed a new theory, called the "postquantum theory of classical gravity," in an attempt to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and general relativity. Unlike previous contenders for a grand unified theory, this new theory does not quantize space-time. Instead, it suggests that quantum mechanics should be modified, leading to a breakdown of predictability at high precision. The theory predicts violent fluctuations in space-time, which can be tested by measuring the mass and weight of an object with high precision. If these fluctuations are not observed, the postquantum theory of classical gravity can be ruled out. Testing this theory could potentially be done within two decades.
