Is Space Pixelated? The Quest for Quantum Gravity
The universe itself may be similarly pixelated. Scientists such as Rana Adhikari, professor of physics at Caltech, think the space we live in may not be perfectly smooth but rather made of incredibly small discrete units. “A spacetime pixel is so small that if you were to enlarge things so that it becomes the sizeContinue reading “Is Space Pixelated?
