Where Some See Strings, She Sees a Space-Time Made of Fractals

Physicist Astrid Eichhorn explores how the fundamental laws of physics might transform at the smallest possible scales of reality. Instead of the traditional string theory approach, she investigates whether space-time itself could have a fractal structure at quantum levels, where zooming deeper reveals increasingly complex, self-similar patterns. This research challenges conventional understanding of how matter and space behave at subatomic scales, potentially revealing new insights about the universe's basic architecture.
