Phase transition at high energies?

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of a phase transition at high energies in relation to the incompatibility between quantum mechanics and relativity. The topic includes the potential involvement of gravitons and theories such as causal triangulations.

Hi,I'm new here,
and created my account solely for following question:

Does the incompatibility between QM and Relativity indicate a phase transition at high energies?

(as in: indicate more than a "could be")

A phase transition of what, exactly? And welcome to PF! :)

A phase transition of space itself... damn I actually forgot the original basis of this question.

It had something to do with gravitons and the difficulties they would bring about.

And thank you!

Some theories (like causal triangulations) obtained a phase transition from 4D to 2D.
Maybe you had this in mind?
 

Related to Phase transition at high energies?

1. What is a phase transition at high energies?

A phase transition at high energies is a change in the physical properties of a substance or system when it is exposed to high levels of energy. This can result in changes such as a change in state, composition, or structure of the substance or system.

2. What types of substances or systems experience phase transitions at high energies?

Phase transitions at high energies can occur in a variety of substances and systems, including solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas. They can also occur in astrophysical systems such as stars and black holes.

3. What causes a phase transition at high energies?

A phase transition at high energies is typically caused by an increase in temperature or pressure, which can disrupt the balance of forces within the substance or system. This disruption can lead to a change in the state of the substance or system.

4. What are some examples of phase transitions at high energies?

Some examples of phase transitions at high energies include melting, boiling, and evaporation in substances such as water, as well as the formation of stars and the creation of new particles in particle accelerators.

5. What is the significance of studying phase transitions at high energies?

Studying phase transitions at high energies can help us understand the fundamental properties of matter and the behavior of complex systems. It also has practical applications, such as in the development of new materials and technologies for energy production and storage.
