Things that have big question marks, related to this debate:
- how do we mesh quantum with gravity?
- why do tangles cause quasiparticles?
- does tangling rescue geons?
One theory is that quantum mechanics is an approximation of tangles in a higher dimensional space when viewed as pseudoknots, in the style of AdS/CFT.
- tbrownaw 4y agoI found a page for geons, and I think I know what quasiparticles are, but what's a tangle in this context?
