Is Space-Time Quantized?
Google/translate0Thank You!0Good Post!0Bad Post! link
I have an idea for an experiment to find out whether space-time is quantized, or “pixelated”.

We build something like an interferometer.

There are 2 lasers in a semicircle around the detector.

The lasers move apart evenly and as slowly as possible.

Because of this, the time passing inside the lasers changes a little.
The upper laser then runs a tiny bit faster than the lower one.
(This is because of the difference in gravity, not because of acceleration.)

The beams change their frequency and amplitude in the same way, so that the measurements can be compared.

The measurements might then be able to show some kind of quantization.
(I am not a math genius or physicist.)

Best regards,

Subject: Ist die Raumzeit quantisiert?

Ich habe eine Idee für ein Experiment, um zu erforschen, ob die Raumzeit quantisiert / gepixelt ist.

Wir bauen eine Art Interferrometer.

2 Laser im Halbkreis um den Detektor.

Die Laser bewegen sich gleichförmig, so wenig wie möglich, auseinander.

Dadurch verändert sich die Zeit, die in den Lasern vergeht.
Der obere Laser läuft dann eine Winzigkeit schneller als der Untere. (Gravitationsunterschied, nicht Beschleunigung)
Die Strahlen verändern ihre Frequenz und Amplitude gleichsam, um Messwerte vergleichen zu können.

Die Messungen könnten dann eine Quantisierung erkennen. (Bin kein Mathegenie/Physiker)

Chappy helped in creating this experiment, and i am currently working with thy hon to math out.

Seems like we can get to 10^-38s

IF:

Circle the tiny experiment around a satellite at a lagrange point.
The experiment probably can get really tiny, because we measure time, not space. (by excl. adjusting gravitationaly rel. effects)
