Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, General Relativity is the most satisfactory theory able to explain large-scale physical phenomena with implausible precision. Quantum mechanics, on the opposite side, is a formulation conceived to properly describe the emergent features and phenomena at small scales (as atoms and particles). Both theories, albeit satisfactory at certain scales, fail to provide a complete picture from small to large scale. Even though a theory that gives a consistent theory covering this large regime is not found, formulated, or understood yet, it already carries a name: “Quantum Gravity”.
It is well-known that there are circumstances in which classical and quantum effects are forced to coexist (black holes or Neutron stars, to name a few) and such a topic motivated an increasing interest in this field in the last decades.
This special issue will be dedicated to collecting recent progress, novel perspectives, and concrete examples where quantum gravity (or its numerous modifications) can introduce significant progress in the field, including black hole solutions, wormholes (and their properties), cosmological models and issues presents in LCDM (as the H0 problem and cosmological constant problem), particle models and relativistic stars.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
