Consider the following alternate universe experiment:
Wrap a piece of string around a circular object.Straighten it out and measure its length.Measure the distance between the center and the edge of the circular object.Then
observe that the ratio between these two measurements is 12
How would observers in this universe recognize that this ratio is not correct?
- eckmLJE 5y agoA universe in which string cannot exist and objects freely pass through each other and through the fabric of spacetime, stretching through regions millions of light years apart
