Initially physics thought in continuous terms...Energy came like a an undivided fluid...But quantum mechanics(courtesy Plank) changed it all...Now energy comes in quantas...everything is quantised...Heisenberg's uncertainity equation is the king...
Good...things are quantised...but wait...what abt the smallest chunk??The quantisation has to end somewhere....there has to be a smallest thing whose size is again linked to the size ofuniverse...Strange isnit it that the smallest thing demands a bigger universe(First article)
Now lets have a look at the smallest chunk....he is continuous!!!!He has to be continuous or the quantisation has to continue....since thishas to end somewhere...the last guy must be continuous.
Now when a thing becomes continuous,what is the significance ofuncertainity principle?Uncertainity principle is a manifestation of the discontinuousnature of physical world...
So below the size of the smallest particle, uncertainity theorem dies!!!!!
Below this size relativity rules and quantum mechanics moves out of the throne..
So what happens at the boundary??
Will we be able to "see" this transition??This could provide us valuable insights into the unification ofrelativity and quantum mechanics
