文摘Considering the expected thermal equilibrium characterizing the physics at the Planck scale, it is here stated, for the first time, that, as a system, the space-time at the Planck scale must be considered as subject to the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition. Consequently, in the interior of the KMS strip, i.e. from the scale B = 0 to the scale B = lplanck, the fourth coordinate g44 must be considered as complex, the two real poles being 6 = 0 and B = lplanck.
