Is space like a chessboard?

All a board ping.

Just hurry up and development warp technology already!

My head is spinning.

I prefer to think of space-time as a bologna sandwich but, hey, if they want to think of it as a chess board - I say go for it!

[decimon]

My head is spinning.

As long as it retains a finite radius.

I don't understand this stuff, I just post it.

Is matter ultimately an Idea?

Scientific research once was used to find answers. But it was discovered that finding answers doesn’t pay the bills nearly as well as finding questions does. Thus, that has become the goal of the scientific community. To find questions. IMHO.

“Is matter ultimately an Idea?”

Who is this, G.W.F. Hegel?

[decimon]

Is matter ultimately an Idea?

If your ideas matter.

I don't understand this stuff, I just post it.

I read all the string theory threads too. Then I go into a corner and hold the sides of my head together for awhile so they don't fly apart.

“My most humble apologies for my former words. I meant to say that those trash bags are most suitable for your women.”

If it’s not graphene, it’s trash bags.

[Jack Hammer]

It sounds absolutely fascinating; I just wish I knew what the heck they’re talking about.

[Mayr Fortuna]

Indeed friend, indeed...

[mikrofon]

The electrons in graphene move by hopping from carbon atom to carbon atom, as if hopping on a chessboard

Given the carbon structure, perhaps more like Chinese Checkers?
