Scientists Say the Universe Itself May Be “Pixelated”

Scientists are suggesting that spacetime may be made out of individual "spacetime pixels" instead of being smooth and continuous like it seems.

A professor of physics at Caltech suggested in a new press blurb that if you enlarge the size of the pixels, they would be as large as a grain of sand.

The goal of Adhikari is to reconcile the conventional laws of physics with the more mysterious world of quantum physics.

It is a mind-bending theory that attempts to explain whether gravity can be split up into its individual components, a question that has been keeping quantum physicists up at night for a long time.

A Caltech professor of theoretical physics who is working with Adhikari said that sometimes there is a misinterpretation in science communication that implies quantum mechanics and gravity are irreconcilable. We know from experiments that we can do quantum mechanics on this planet, which has gravity.

The devil is always in the details.

When you ask subtle questions about black holes or try to combine theories at short distances, the problems come up.

If you zoom in on spacetime, would you find individual light-colored particles, which are made up of quantum mechanics? Would it be a continuous spectrum?

Some scientists think that gravity could be made up by individual hypothetical gravitons. string theory uses gravitons to correspond to a particular Frequency.

Scientists are still unsure of how to unify the laws of general relativity and quantum physics.

If I drop my coffee mug, I would like to think it was gravity. Spacetime might not be a real thing in the same way that temperature is not real.

The same could happen for spacetime.

He said that something may have arisen out of spacetime, because we don't know what the guts of spacetime are.

Is space treated differently? The California Institute of Technology has a quest for quantum gravity.

A scientist claims that aliens may communicate via quantum physics.
