FRA FORSKNINGSFRONTEN WHEN THEORY BREAKS DOWN OUTSIDE OF THE LABORATORY: CONSIDERING (TWO OF) THE MOTIVATIONS FOR QUANTUM GRAVITY.
Driven neither by experiment nor anomalous observation, physicists are seeking a new fundamental theory of gravity—motivated, guided, and constrained by purely theoretical and philosophical concerns. Here, I briefly consider two of these issues: dreams of unification, and the resolution of spacetime...

Here, I briefly consider two of these issues: dreams of unification, and the resolution of spacetime singularities. The discussion in this essay is based on a forthcoming book for the Cambridge Elements in Philosophy of Physics series, titled ‘Why do we want a theory of quantum gravity?’ Please keep an eye out for it (hopefully) later this year! pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
