Deep Space Might Have Only One Dimension | Solves a Big Problem?

Physicists have been trying to reconcile the differences between Einstein’s theory of spacetime and our observations of quantum mechanics for almost a century.

One way that they’ve attempted to do this involves theories that treat space as one-dimensional at very short distances. In a recent paper, physicists claim that they’ve solved a major problem that’s plagued these theories for decades.


Does this finally solve the problem?

Let’s take a look.
