Quantum Gravity in a Laboratory? by Nick Huggett 9781009327534
RRP: $23.22Booksplease Price: $21.31The characteristic – Planck – energy scale of quantum gravity makes experimental access to the relevant physics apparently impossible. Nevertheless, low energy experiments linking gravity and the... -
Beyond Spacetime: The Foundations of Quantum Gravity by Nick Huggett
RRP: $81.27Booksplease Price: $78.38One 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... -

RRP: $113.52Booksplease Price: $109.97The two fundamental pillars of physics for over 100 years have been quantum theory and general relativity, but their unification at short distances remains elusive, both technically and conceptually... -
Philosophy Beyond Spacetime: Implications from Quantum Gravity by Christian Wuethrich 9780198844143
RRP: $117.39Booksplease Price: $113.42Quantum gravity seeks a unified theory in which quantum matter is dynamically related to generally relativistic spacetime. Although a continuing work in progress, research programmes in the field... -
String Theory and the Scientific Method by Richard Dawid 9781107449619
RRP: $49.02Booksplease Price: $48.30String theory has played a highly influential role in theoretical physics for nearly three decades and has substantially altered our view of the elementary building principles of the Universe... -
