Quantum Space
Loop Quantum Gravity and the Search for the Structure of Space, Time, and the Universe

There's no doubt that Jim Baggott is one of the best popular science writers currently active. He specialises in taking really difficult topics and giving a more in-depth look at them than most of his peers. The majority of the time he achieves with a fluid writing style that remains easily readable......more

While there have been many works that have probed the more counter-intuitive and mind-bending notions from string theory, very few books have tackled the other major theory describing that most important of current issues in theoretical physics, namely Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). As he has for numer......more

Reality is what it is. One day, we will figure out if fundamentally, it is more in line with what loop quantum gravity posits, or what string- or some versions of M-theory say it is, or something totally different. For the folks of this generation, chances are quite high that this question remains u......more

3.5 stars. This books tells the story of the development of Loop Quantum Gravity, a theory that explains the emergence of discrete spacetime. At the beginning the history of relativity and quantum mechanics was well told. Several parts describing string theory and LQG were kind of obscure and may ha......more
