A fractal universe?

Featured Replies

Does it make any sense to look at time from non-beginning to non-end in a fractal sense, if we model it mathematically?

There have been fractal universe models proposed the problem with them is that they are not Lorentz invariant. This is a major problem for fractal based models.

 

"Despite the beautiful physics emerging from the HL picture, inspired by critical and condensed-matter systems, it potentially suffers from at least one major problem. Lorentz invariance, one of the best constrained symmetries of Nature, is surrendered at fundamental level."

 

here is a review of HL gravity.

due to the Lorentz invariance constraints this model is largely not well considered as well as the problems mentioned in this paper
