67. As reviewed in Refs. 1112, the precise theoretical framework for the minimal length uncertainty relation is not at present understood in string theory. In particular, while the minimal uncertainty principle is based on the fact that strings cannot probe distances below (Formula presented) other probes, such as D-branes 14, can probe scales smaller than (Formula presented) In this situation, another type of uncertainty relation involving spatial and temporal coordinates is found to hold: (Formula presented) 1516.
