Ah, I see. "Smooth, not foamy" makes quite a bit more sense in this context, actually. I'm just not sure how much I want to hinge a change in our entire physical worldview on the fact that some particles acted like they were on pavement rather than gravel, as it were. This is extremely interesting, though. Planck's constant has long been thought they be-all end-all, I believe. Perhaps nuts to that."If foaminess exists at all, we think it must be at a scale far smaller than the Planck length, indicating that other physics might be involved," study leader Robert Nemiroff, of Michigan Technological University, said in a statement.
