SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the potential phase transition at high energies due to the incompatibility between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and General Relativity. Participants explore the concept of a phase transition of space itself, particularly in relation to gravitons and their implications. Theories such as causal triangulations are mentioned, which suggest a phase transition from 4D to 2D. This indicates a significant shift in understanding the fundamental nature of space-time at high energy levels.
