World crystal

In physics, world crystal is a theoretical model of spacetime consistent with general relativity but based on a lattice with the dimensions of the Planck length. Defects in the crystal cause the curvature effects of mass-energy on spacetime. Proposed by Hagen Kleinert, it provides an alternative understanding of gravity and an alternative to the extra-dimensional concepts of string theory.
