Beyond Spacetime : The Foundations of Quantum Gravity Hardback
Edited by Nick (University of Illinois, Chicago) Huggett, Keizo (Uppsala Universitet, Sweden) Matsubara, Christian (Universite de Geneve) Wuthrich
Hardback
Description
One of the greatest challenges in fundamental physics is to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity in a theory of quantum gravity.
A successful theory would have profound consequences for our understanding of space, time, and matter.
This collection of essays written by eminent physicists and philosophers discusses these consequences and examines the most important conceptual questions among philosophers and physicists in their search for a quantum theory of gravity.
Comprising three parts, the book explores the emergence of classical spacetime, the nature of time, and important questions of the interpretation, metaphysics, and epistemology of quantum gravity.
These essays will appeal to both physicists and philosophers of science working on problems in foundational physics, specifically that of quantum gravity.
