Rubber Bands, Asymptotic Freedom, and the Universe




Lately, I've been investigating a new field that may exist in the Universe which acts like a rubber band.

It's a simple type of field (scalar) and when you add lots of energy the interactions among the particles eventually vanish. It's like adding heat to a rubber band and as it shrinks, the band becomes flimsy.
