DESCRIPTION:
"Interesting mix of topics" according to Dean Welch. This book is a collection of lectures based on talks given at the second Osgood Hill Conference. Although this occurred in 1988 and many advances have been made in quantum gravity (particularly in the two leading candidates, string theory and loop quantum gravity), much of the material in this book is still very relevant. Of course a lot of things aren't covered, like the possible resolutions of black hole information paradox. The book is true to the title, the material is mostly v. Of Course there's problems with it A Friendly Voice Why people don't read Dewey Larson is beyond me. Why theorize how reality might work, when it's already been grasped?
Sponsored by the Boston U. Center for Einstein Studies, this meeting was held in North Andover, Mass., May 1988. Topics include quantum mechanics and measurement, time in quantum gravity, strings and gravity, quantization of gravity, topology and black holes in quantum gravity by Hartle, Isham, Zure
