Conversations on Quantum Gravity<\/span><\/h2> The holy grail of theoretical physics is to combine general relativity with quantum theory. The purpose of this book is to survey the broad field of quantum gravity via interviews to hand-picked theoreticians about their views on quantum gravity and the remaining open questions.
A review was written in Foundations of Physics<\/a>. The book was published in Cambridge University Press in August 2021.
According to John H. Schwartz, Harold Brown Professor of Theoretical Physics, Emeritus, Caltech, “The two great achievements in fundamental physics of the 20th century are quantum mechanics, embodied in the standard model of particle physics, and general relativity, Einstein\u2019s theory of gravity. Their reconciliation is the challenge that is addressed in these fascinating interviews with many of the leading experts. Superstring theory, also developed in the 20th century, is the leading candidate to provide the answer, but other ideas are being explored. The wide range of viewpoints presented gives the reader a sense of this profound challenge.”.
