Question Details Asked By Asked On
space time as a net wthomasoh 01/07/04
    what would the consequences be for quantum phenomena (a lot of which I have a hard time understanding) if space time was not a fabric, but a net. The mesh could be sized so that some quantum particles were smaller than the net, and therefore outside of the bounds of space time as we understand it. Is this possible, and if so, is it an idea that has been explored? Is there any literature on the topic that a lay person could understand?

    Thanks,

    Bill

      Thanks for the post - hope you are feeling better.

      My question really came from trying to understand Bell's Therom. I thought that maybe if the entangled particles were outside of the confines of time, because time was tied to space and was quantized, it would not affect larger entities, but could have strange effects on quantum particles.

      Is my understanding of time being tied to space flawed or only relevant in large scale systems?

      Thanks,

      Bill

      Hi Bluto,

      Peer-review = physics as a blood sport!Nothing like mixing big IQ's with big egos for entertainment.

      I think you helped clarify my thinking. I like the idea of time being quantized because it brings it back into the realam of 'normal' phenomeonon. It will be intersting to see what comes of that line of questioning.

      On your point that if the particles are outside time they would also be outside space....maybe they would. What the hell would that mean?

      Ok, my head is hurting.

      Thanks,

      Bill
