The Mystery of Space and Time
55:31 - 1:01:03 (05:32)
In quantum gravity, the geometry of space-time can be in a superposition of all different kinds of geometries which makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact location in space. String theory only makes sense if space-time is in 10 dimensions which brings forth new technical problem.

The complexity of String Theory reveals another technical problem, as it only makes sense if space-time is 10 dimensional, rather than the four-dimensional space-time we observe.

Summary
The complexity of String Theory reveals another technical problem, as it only makes sense if space-time is 10 dimensional, rather than the four-dimensional space-time we observe. In addition, adding finite numbers that result in an infinite number creates major issues in the theories of quantum mechanics and particle physics.

Summary
In the realm of quantum gravity, the concept of spacetime becomes even more intricate, with the geometry of spacetime having the ability to be in a superposition of multiple geometries. This leads to questions surrounding the possibility of two particles interacting when there's no such thing as being located in the same place in quantum gravity.
