Einstein once again win space-time nature smooth rather than foam

According to the United States space network reported, according to a new study, space-time is smooth and not bubble shape, the results of this study may mean that Einstein's theory had to overcome many of the quantum physicist.
In general relativity, Einstein describes space is fundamentally is smooth, only in the energy or material will be distorted under the action of. However, some quantum physicists hold different views, they think that space is not continuous, but is composed of a large number of small particles, these particles are constantly appearing and disappearing. According to the latest research findings on this, in this issue Einstein may be right.
Photon a team of scientists for three passes through the long interstellar space development track. These photons are released from a gamma ray burst event about 7000000000 light-years away in the. After a long journey, in 2009 May, these photons eventually Fermi Gama X-ray Space Telescope captured the United States NASA, between each single photon time interval of only 1 milliseconds.
The results of the study strongly support the theory of Einstein. These come from the gamma-ray burst incident photon wavelength is very short, so in principle they could spacetime foam particles and quantum physicists proposed reaction.
If this bubble really exist, then this 3 photons in the way the path should be slightly affected. The researchers point out, take this into consideration, the 3 single photon arrival probability of Fermi telescope at almost the same time is very low.
Therefore, from the results of analysis, the results for the quantum theory of spacetime foam that there is a big blow, although this is not a fatal blow. The first author of the study, scientists from the Michigan Technological University, Robert Niemilov (Robert Nemiroff) said: "if this bubble really exist, so the size must be smaller than the Planck length, this might mean to the other fields of physics." The Planck length is a little small to be hardly worthy of belief in the unit of length, the specific numerical roughly the equivalent of a hydrogen atom diameter was 1/100000000.
Niemi Love this Wednesday will have the relevant research results presented at the 221st meeting of American Astronomical Society, he said: "there certainly exist statistical error, or between the spacetime foam and photon interaction is in a and we currently envisioned a different way." If this research is established, it will have a great significance.
In a statement, a Louisiana State University scientist Bradley Shriver (Bradley Schaefer) said: "if the future for the study of gamma-ray bursts to confirm the results of this study, so that we may have learned some very basic about the nature of the universe."
