Description
The authors report first results of a large-scale simulation of two-dimensional quantum gravity using the dynamical triangulation model for systems of up to sixteen thousand triangles. Their results for the internal geometry show an unexpectedly complicated behavior of the internal volume as function of the internal radius. A simple fractal characterization is inadequate to describe the geometry of the states in the system
