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")
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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?
 
The annual big string theory conference took place last week. I thought I would make a thread about it, partly because the most prominent post about it anywhere, is probably Peter Woit dismissing it as worthless. I skimmed the live video (links here to slides, videos, and posters). What did I personally find to be of interest? Lara Anderson gave a talk about topology change in heterotic vacua, i.e. transitions between different Calabi-Yau manifolds in the extra dimensions, which turn out...
