¿Y si el espacio-tiempo no fuera fundamental? | Dualidad T
What if the universe didn't distinguish between the immensely large and the infinitely small? In this video, Christian Aoufia explores the T-duality of string theory, a symmetry that shows that a very small spatial dimension can be physically equivalent to a very large one. This surprising property challenges our intuition about distance and geometry. From this idea, we'll see why T-duality is considered one of the first clues that spacetime might not be a fundamental entity, but an emergent phenomenon. This perspective has profoundly influenced the development of quantum gravity and our search for a deeper description of nature.
