How about if length contraction means that 1 meter is now fewer length quanta than before? I mean if spacetime is emergent why limit ourselves to an intuitive

How about if length contraction means that 1 meter is now fewer length quanta than before?
I mean if spacetime is emergent why limit ourselves to an intuitive sense of what distance is.
- yk 11y agoWell, if you have less length quanta then we could call them a unit of length, they would no longer be any kind of fundamental property. ( But actually the notion of a particle is a rather big problem of quantum field theory in curved backgrounds.)
- qrendel 11y agoThis is essentially what I was asking - why wouldn't all inertial frames determine the size of length quanta to be the same, but disagree on the number of them between two events in spacetime.
