Foundations of Space and Time: Reflections on Quantum Gravity 1st Edition by Jeff Murugan (PDF)

Description

After almost a century, the field of quantum gravity remains as difficult and inspiring as ever. Today, it finds itself a field divided, with two major contenders dominating: string theory, the leading exemplification of the covariant quantization program; and loop quantum gravity, the canonical scheme based on Dirac’s constrained Hamiltonian quantization. However, there are now a number of other innovative schemes providing promising new avenues. Encapsulating the latest debates on this topic, this book details the different approaches to understanding the very nature of space and time. It brings together leading researchers in each of these approaches to quantum gravity to explore these competing possibilities in an open way. Its comprehensive coverage explores all the current approaches to solving the problem of quantum gravity, addressing the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, to give researchers and graduate students an up-to-date view of the field.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book has an IBN that is assigned another book. I’ve ordered it many times from different sellers, only to receive the same incorrect book. Fantastic specialized customer service from this kind seller. Thank you! I highly recommend!!

⭐The information of the book displayed on website does not in accordence with the actual fact, it assign to another book On the Law of War and Peace, and I have experienced the issue two times. I do care when Amazon would correct it!
