Summary
Researchers at Brown University propose that the topology of spacetime may protect the Cosmological constant from destabilizing quantum fluctuations. Inspired by the quantum Hall effect, the model offers a new way to connect gravity and Quantum Mechanics while explaining why the universe expands in a stable, balanced way.
