Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Scale
«'… a formidable survey of current research and future possibilities in theories of convergence of particle physics and gravity theory … recommended to ambitious undergraduate philosophy and physics students as well as graduate students …'. P. D. Skiff, Choice»
The greatest challenge in fundamental physics is how quantum mechanics and general relativity can be reconciled in a theory of 'quantum gravity'. The project suggests a profound revision of our notions of space, time and matter, and so has become a key topic of debate and collaboration between physicists and philosophers. Les mer
