In quantum space or quantum spacetime approaches (like loop quantum gravity, casual dynamical triangulation), space or spacetime is in really a collection of 3D or 4D *cells *(tetrahedra or pentahedra) that are "glued" together somehow. There is no "space" in the conventional Euclidean of Riemannian geometrical/metrical sense, so these cells aren't *in* space (there is no space inside of them or between them). The cells collectively *are* space. - pt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
