bouzygesЕсли я правильно понял, свернули очень сложные вычисления взаимодействий частиц к геометрическим свойствам четырехмерной структуры. Попутно отказавшись от принципа локальности. Неожиданная, важная работа, конкурирующая с теорией струн, возможный выход на теорию квантовой гравитации. Ну и да, может предполагать, что пространство и время иллюзорны.
Beyond making calculations easier or possibly leading the way to quantum gravity, the discovery of the amplituhedron could cause an even more profound shift, Arkani-Hamed said. That is, giving up space and time as fundamental constituents of nature and figuring out how the Big Bang and cosmological evolution of the universe arose out of pure geometry.
“In a sense, we would see that change arises from the structure of the object,” he said. “But it’s not from the object changing. The object is basically timeless.”
