Can spin foams become chaotic, if so is their an arrow that points
in a preferred direction

Have you seen this page? It has some links that may answer your question (if it's not been answered yet...)

hello Tsu,
it is not unusual for wolram to pose questions which are too deep for me
and (it looks like) others here.

if space got ever more cheesy as time progressed that would give some meaning to time
time would the irreversible increasing cheesiness of space
after a while it gets too crumbly and you throw it down a black hole and get a new one
:smile:

dont worry about wolram

he knows when he asks a deep one and doesn't expect answers

Spin foams, as I understand the question, are chaotic by nature. I do not understand the question.

Apologies for the wording of my question, it shows my lack of intelligence.
cheesy quantum history, heaven forbid.
thank you for replies.
 
Oh, I guess I was just in the mood for googling and posting last night. :biggrin: Since it (the question) looked fun, and I found John Baez talking about it (I can actually read a LOT of his stuff - and understand it! {sort of...}), I just thought I'd post the link. Hadn't talked to wolram in AGES anyway... :wink: Oh well... I'll go back to work now... :redface:
 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
