Quantum Gravity: A Study in Physics and Cosmology By Warner Schneider Albert Einstein determined that gravitation is the curvature of space in proximity to any celestial body of mass. If this is so, then how and why does it occur?
This book offers an up-to-date introduction into the attempts to construct a unified theory of "quantum gravity".
Quantum gravity is one of the major "open" problems in theoretical physics, and the loop and spinfoam approach in this book is a major research area in the field.
.D - 1 . ( 66 ) The scalars correspond to transverse oscillations of the brane . Changing the position of the brane corresponds to changing the ... Instead , we focus on features shared by D - branes in supersymmetric string theories .
Mathematical Models and Experimental Bounds Bertfried Fauser, Jürgen Tolksdorf, Eberhard Zeidler ... Quantum cosmology has not yet been implemented into the full theory, only at the level of the effective action ('string cosmology').
May be here one can find some solution of the famous Schrodinger cat paradox which arises when quantum mechanics is used for mac robodies. c) In gravitational antenna one must speak about the oscillation of the centre of mass of the ...
This book gives readers a comprehensive introduction accessible to interested non-experts to the main issues surrounding the search for quantum gravity.
This book presents a self-contained discussion of the concepts, methods and applications that can be expected in such a theory.
The third edition also contains pedagogical extensions throughout the text. This book will be of interest to researchers and students working in relativity and gravitation, cosmology, quantum field theory and related topics.
