Gossamer (theory)

Gossamer theory suggests that spacetime isn’t entirely smooth but has a delicate, thread-like structure at extremely small scales, resembling gossamer fabric. These tiny, interconnected filaments could influence fundamental physics, potentially explaining quantum phenomena and the nature of gravity. The theory explores how this subtle, web-like fabric might underlie the universe's fabric, combining elements of quantum mechanics and general relativity to offer insights into the universe's fundamental structure.
