Can Quantum Spacetime Behave Like Turbulent Fluids?

In summary, the conversation discusses the proposal of quantum spacetime behaving with turbulence, similar to the dynamics of fluids. This allows for interchangeable solutions in unified physics, with a better understanding in 2+1 dimensions. The concept of quantized spacetime and its interaction with quantum-statistical superluminosity is also mentioned, along with the idea of a minimal continuous curvature and fractured spacetime conforming to lesser-dimensional structures. The conversation also touches on the relationship between space and quantum mechanics, and the comparison between the proposed quantum-geometrodynamical turbulence and the nonlinear physics of fluids.

I propose that quantum spacetime behaves with turbulence, much like that dynamic of fluids. At turbulence the solutions for these unified physics would be interchangable, but more easily understood in 2+1 dimensions.

Quantized spacetime defines a nonlinear relativistic geometry interacting with a linear quantum-statistical superluminosity. A minimal continuous curvature of Planck length normally holds, beyond which a fractured spacetime conforms to lesser-dimensional structures.

i thought space is the situation to define the position of the objects relative to each other objects.
how does this definition relats to quantum spacetime that you refer?


and to say quantum space behaves like fluids is like giving space the propeties of matter which it isn't (as far as i know).

Einstein defined relativity in terms of geometry. Below the Planck scale, curved space becomes so critical toward singularity that it must either violate quantum mechanics, relativity or actual dimensionality. I would compare the proposed quantum-geometrodynamical turbulence with the nonlinear physics of fluids bounded by microscopic (linear) frictional effects.

Spacetime is often given the metaphor of a two-dimensional rubber sheet (which it isn't). Discrete particles, e. g., may behave en masse like a fluid. Equations from distinct fields of physics often yield analogous forms.
 

What is turbulent quantum spacetime?

Turbulent quantum spacetime is a theoretical framework that combines the principles of general relativity and quantum mechanics to better understand the behavior of spacetime at a very small scale.

How does turbulent quantum spacetime differ from traditional theories of spacetime?

Unlike traditional theories of spacetime, turbulent quantum spacetime takes into account the concept of turbulence, which is the unpredictable and chaotic movement of particles at a microscopic level. This adds a new level of complexity to our understanding of spacetime.

What are some potential applications of turbulent quantum spacetime?

Some potential applications of turbulent quantum spacetime include improving our understanding of black holes and the early universe, as well as providing a better understanding of the fundamental nature of space and time.

What challenges exist in studying turbulent quantum spacetime?

One major challenge in studying turbulent quantum spacetime is the lack of experimental evidence. Since it deals with the smallest scales of spacetime, it is difficult to test and validate this theory through experiments.

Are there any competing theories to turbulent quantum spacetime?

Yes, there are other theories that attempt to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics, such as loop quantum gravity and string theory. However, turbulent quantum spacetime is a relatively new and promising framework for understanding the behavior of spacetime at a quantum level.
