Abstract
String theory and loop quantum gravity defines the elementary blocks of matter and
space to be within the size of the Planck length. Einstein’s special relativity requires
that any two frames of reference will experience length contraction in the direction of
their relative movement one towards the other. Since the Planck length is a universal
constant in all frames of reference, and it is the building block of matter and maybe
even the fabric of space, how can this length contraction occur? This is the question
that this paper will try to answer.
Introduction
Planck length (1) is the minimal length emerging from the most basic universal
constants: Planck constant (quantum mechanics), gravitational constant (general
relativity) and the speed of light (special relativity).
Equation 1:
𝑙𝑝 = √
ℎ𝐺
𝑐3
𝑙𝑝 = 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑘′
𝑠𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ, ℎ = 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑘′
𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 , 𝐺 = 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡, 𝑐 = 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡
Based on string theory (2), this is the scale of the building blocks of all particles. Based
on loop quantum gravity (3), the fabric of space is built by loops in the size of this
Planck fundamental scale. Based on the holographic principle (4), all the information
2
bits (entropy) in a volume of space, is limited by the area of its surrounding surface,
divided by Planck area units (the square of Planck length). This enters a conflict with
Einstein’s special relativity, since it requires length contraction (5) when an observer
on one frame of reference measures the length of an object in another frame of reference
in the direction of the relative movement between the two frames of reference. Planck
length cannot undergo length contraction since there is no meaning to a size smaller
than the Planck length. This leads to the conclusion that length contraction requires a
quantified decrease in the number of Planck length building blocks of matter (string
theory) and/or space ( Loop Quantum Gravity - LQG). Based on the holographic
principle it means a decrease in the amount of information (figure 1). Since information
is never lost, this brings us to a paradox.
Figure 1: Alice measures an object in her frame of reference with proper length L in her x axis
direction, with the information bits at the Planck length scale: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J.
Bob, who is travelling at velocity V in the same X axis direction, relative to Alice, will measure
a length L’ < L due to length contraction in the X axis direction.

Since the information bits in the Planck length cannot undergo length contraction, L’ will
contain less information bits than the number of information bits in L. In this illustration, L’
will contain the information bits: A, D, F, H. J and will miss the information bits: B, C, E, G, I.
Conclusion
Based on string theory, LQG and the holographic principle, information from Alice
frame of reference is lost in Bob’s frame of reference. Since information is never lost,
this is a paradox that requires a new model of spacetime. To visualize a model in which
different frames of reference represent different amounts of information (entropy), and
no information is lost, we need to visualize a new structure of reference frame
dependent spacetime. This paper suggests a structure in which each of the infinite
number of reference frames represents a different quantized spacetime, staggered next
to each other (figure 2). The size of the quantized building blocks is universal (same in
all frames of reference), in the size unit of Planck length. All the staggered quantized
frames of reference probably share a universal extra nonlocal grid like dimension (grid
dimension). The nonlocal grid like dimension connects between all frames of reference
and can explain the non-local behavior of quantum mechanics like the non-locality
behavior of quantum entanglement “spooky action at a distance”. This non-local grid-
like dimension can also be the time dimension, combining with the quantized space
dimension, building up the combined fabric of spacetime.

Figure2: illustration of The staggered matrix approach. Alice quatized local reference frame at
t1 is illustrated by blue marbles illustrating the Planck length sized building blocks of space in
Alice frame of reference. Bob quatized local reference frame at t1’, is illustrated by green
marbles illustrating the Planck length sized building blocks of space in Bob’s frame of
reference. Alice quatized local reference frame at t2 is illustrated by blue cubes illustrating the
Planck length sized building blocks of space in Alice frame of reference. Bob quatized local
reference frame at t2’, is illustrated by green cubes illustrating the Planck length sized building
blocks of space in Bob’s frame of reference. The white grid shaped space between these
quantized building blocks illustrate the non local grid dimension. The grid dimension can be
time itself connecting all the staggered reference frames together. In this illustration only two
reference frames are illustrated but the real matrix of space time is built from infinite number
of staggered reference frames with the extra grid dimension connecting them together into the
fabric of spacetime (it might be that the time dimension is the grid dimension ). Each frame of
refernce contains a different structure and amount of information, but in the entire three
dimensional matrix of staggered infinite (in number and size), quantized frames of reference
with the time dimension (grid dimension) between them, connecting every thing together, no
information is ever lost. We can call this three dimensional matrix structure , the fabric of
spacetime. We illustrate in a three dimensions model, all frames of reference in space and time.
