Abstract

An idealized two-slit experiment is envisaged in which the hypothetical experimental set-up is constructed in such a way as to resemble a toy model giving information about the structure of quantum space–time itself. Thus starting from a very simple equation which may be interpreted as a physical realization of Gödel’s undecidability theorem, we proceed to show that space–time is very likely to be akin to a fuzzy Kähler-like manifold on the quantum level. This remarkable manifold transforms gradually into a classical space–time as we decrease the resolution in a way reversibly analogous to the processes of recovering classical space–time from the Riemannian space of general relativity.
