String theory provides a new take on the expansion of the Universe
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: alien life, quantum physics
String theory could reshape our understanding of the Universe’s accelerating expansion and unlock the mysteries of dark energy.
The accelerating expansion of the Universe might not be just an unexplained phenomenon — according to a new proposal by theoretical physicists, it could be a fundamental feature woven into the very fabric of reality.
The researchers suggest that space is not an empty vacuum but that instead our whole Universe is a complex quantum object called the Glauber-Sudarshan state, where countless interacting strings are constantly born and disappear. This hypothesis breathes new life into string theory, which has long aimed to unify all the fundamental forces of nature.
