Abstract :
A three-dimensional Hilbert cube has exactly three dimensions. It can mimic our spatial
world on an ordinary observation scale. A four-dimensional Hilbert cube is equivalent to
Elnaschie Cantorian spacetime. A very small distance in a very high observable resolution
is equivalent to a very high energy spacetime which is inherently Cantorian, non-differentiable
and discontinuous. This article concludes that spacetime is a fractal and hierarchical
in nature. The spacetime could be modeled by a four-dimensional Hilbert cube. Gravity and
electromagnetism are at different levels of the hierarchy. Starting from a simple picture of a
four-dimensional cube, a series of higher dimensional polytops can be constructed in a selfsimilar
manner. The resulting structure will resemble a Cantorian spacetime of which the
expectation of the Hausdorff dimension equals to 4.23606799 provided that the number of
hierarchical iterations is taken to infinity. In this connection, we note that Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle comes into play when we take measurement at different levels of
the hierarchy.
