Cosmic Queries – Bits of Spacetime with Janna Levin
StarTalk Radio
Exploring the Stretchability of Space-Time
The chapter delves into the concept of space-time and its potential stretchability within known physics, questioning the necessity of infinite elastic properties. Various analogies, including comparing space-time to water, are used to elucidate complex ideas about the discrete nature of space-time at microscopic scales. The discussion delves into the intersection of quantum gravity, plank length, and the representation of space-time in physics, challenging traditional notions and proposing emergent properties from quantum interactions.
