Spacetime is emergent you have to ask from what
An unedited conversation with Gemini Spacetime is emergent you have to ask from what The idea that spacetime isn't a fundamental "stage" but rather an emergent property is one of the most electrifying frontiers in modern theoretical physics. If spacetime is the "macroscopic" result, the hunt is on for the "microscopic" ingredients. Current theories suggest several candidates for what spacetime emerges from: 1. Quantum Entanglement ("It from Qubit") One of the leading theories, often associated with the AdS/CFT correspondence , suggests that the geometry of spacetime is actually a physical manifestation of quantum entanglement. The Concept: If you have two regions of space, they are "near" each other because the underlying quantum bits (qubits) are highly entangled. The Analogy: Think of entanglement as the "thread" that sews the fabric of space together. If you remove the entanglem...
