{"product_id":"foundations-of-space-and-time-jeff-murugan-9780521114400","title":"Foundations of Space and Time","description":"After almost a century, the field of quantum gravity remains as difficult and inspiring as ever. Today, it finds itself a field divided, with two major contenders dominating: string theory, the leading exemplification of the covariant quantization program; and loop quantum gravity, the canonical scheme based on Dirac's constrained Hamiltonian quantization. However, there are now a number of other innovative schemes providing promising new avenues. Encapsulating the latest debates on this topic, this book details the different approaches to understanding the very nature of space and time. It brings together leading researchers in each of these approaches to quantum gravity to explore these competing possibilities in an open way. Its comprehensive coverage explores all the current approaches to solving the problem of quantum gravity, addressing the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, to give researchers and graduate students an up-to-date view of the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeff Murugan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521114403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521114400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Jeff Murugan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965142319359,"sku":"9780521114400","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec015c9e-20c7-4236-af1e-844b5cb90f4a.jpg?v=1767278680","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foundations-of-space-and-time-jeff-murugan-9780521114400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
