The Mystery of the Cosmological constant May Be Hidden in Spacetime Topology

The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast

Researchers at Brown University propose that the topology of spacetime may protect the Cosmological constant from destabilizing quantum fluctuations.

Inspired by the quantum Hall effect, the model offers a new way to connect gravity and Quantum Mechanics while explaining why the universe expands in a stable, balanced way.
