• Resumen

  • The article focuses on the possible shapes that spacetime could take. It states that quantum theory suggests that the shape that spacetime is perceived to take is a superposition of all the possible shapes. It mentions that theorists constructed shapes out of triangles using set rules to determine what form it would take. It suggests that when the triangles are restricted by the principle of causality, the form they look is a four-dimensional space-time that looks much like the universe.
