I see expressions such as quantum gravitational foam, or gravitational
quantum foam, but unsure what they mean. I hear that they are related
to topological strings as well and can be calculated from the process
of melting crystal.

But not sure what quantum foam means........
Could somebody kindly explain it to me?
