Description
schema In On Space and Time (edited by Shahn Majid), mathematician Alain Connes presents a revolutionary perspective where spacetime is not a smooth continuum, but possesses a noncommutative, fine-grained structure. Connes argues that matter itself is geometry, bridging quantum theory and general relativity by redefining the fundamental nature of spacetime.
