Does gravity produce quantum weirdness? Proposal divides physicists

The nature of gravity - and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics - is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow the principles of quantum physics, but those principles do not seem to be compatible with the accepted theory of gravity. For years, researchers have been proposing experiments to show whether gravity could produce a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement.
