Some clarifications: The vacuum IS a string-net liquid. But the strings are not continous. As you can see in the picture in Figure 1.8 at page 9 (page 14 in the pdf file) in Xiao-Gang Wen: "Introduction to Quantum Many-boson Theory (-: a theory of almost everything :-)", that can be found at http://dao.mit.edu/~wen/pub/intr-frmb.pdf , and in the 10th slide of his talk "An unification of light and electron" at http://dao.mit.edu/~wen/talks/06TDLee.pdf , there the strings consist of discrete points. And it is these discrete points that ARE the space. There is no space between the points. The vacuum IS these points. This might be hard to understand. But this is the same thing that there were no time "before" the Big Bang. The time started with Big Bang. And there is the same thing with the space points in the strings in the discrete space. There is no space "between" the space points. This is hard to understand mentally, but it can be understood mathematically. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
