'Space-Time' -Could It Be a Mirage? New Theory Says "Yes"

'Space-Time' -Could It Be a Mirage? New Theory Says "Yes" (Today's Most Popular)
Space-time - that plastic fabric whose geometry can be changed by the gravity of stars, planets and matter - may be no more than a mirage, according to Peter Horava. Horava, who is at the University of California, Berkeley, wants to rip this fabric apart and set time and space free from one another in order to come up with a unified theory that reconciles the disparate worlds of quantum mechanics and gravity. The focus of last year's Nobel Prize for Physics, graphene, may unlock the solution.
