Nearsolidbodies
Nearsolidbodies are a concept in theoretical physics, particularly within certain models of quantum gravity and string theory, that attempt to describe objects with properties that are intermediate between truly solid objects and extended fields. The term suggests entities that possess some degree of localized structure and rigidity, akin to a solid, but also exhibit wave-like characteristics or interactions more typical of fields.
The motivation for exploring nearsolidbodies often arises from attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity.
These theoretical constructs are not directly observable with current technology. Their study is primarily a mathematical
