Quantized Fractal Space Time and Stochastic Holism

General Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The space time that is used in relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory is the Minkowski space time. Yet, as pointed out by several scholars this classical space time is incompatible with the Heisenberg Uncertainity Principle: We cannot go down to arbitrarily small space time intervals, let alone space time points. Infact this classical space time is at best an approximation, and this has been criticised by several scholars. We investigate, what exactly this approximation entails.
