(From the swedish Allting List:) The discrete space-time is a liquid. This explains why the space is isomorph in all directions.
The one that discovered that the space-time is a liquid, was Xiao-Gang Wen (Home Page: http://dao.mit.edu/~wen ). He has found that elementary particles are not the fundamental building blocks of matter. Instead, they emerge as defects or "whirlpools" in the deeper organized structure of space-time. The space-time is a string-net liquid, and the photons, the light, are waves in this liquid. And the charged electrons are the the ends of open-ended strings. Xiao-Gang Wen has written a lot of articles about this, and they can all be found from his home page. But most of the articles are *very* mathematical. But there is an easy-to-read article at https://dao.mit.edu/~wen/NSart-wen.html . And there is a rather-easy-to-read article in 12 pages at https://dao.mit.edu/~wen/pub/intr-frmb.pdf , that explains more about these very interesting theories. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
