Abstract

The present paper aims to emphasize the geometrical features of the quantum spacetime, considering gravity as an emergent feature similar to the elasticity of the solid state. A small scale structure is needed to explain the emergent gravity and how spacetime atoms are continuously created in the process of the expansion of the universe. A simple geometrical model has been introduced.
