BOOK
The idea of infinity plays a crucial role in our understanding of
the universe, with the infinite spacetime continuum perhaps the
best-known example - but is spacetime really continuous?
Throughout the history of science, many have felt that the
continuum model is an unphysical idealization, and that spacetime
should be thought of as 'quantized' at the smallest of scales
Combining novel conceptual analysis, a fresh historical
perspective, and concrete physical examples, this unique book
tells the story of the search for the fundamental unit of length
in modern physics, from early classical electrodynamics to
current approaches to quantum gravity. Novel philosophical
theses, with direct implications for theoretical physics
research, are presented and defended in an accessible format that
avoids complex mathematics. Blending history, philosophy, and
theoretical physics, this refreshing outlook on the nature of
spacetime sheds light on one of the most thought-provoking topics
in modern physics
