(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.
