As I attempt to understand the conflict between Quantum Loop Gravity [QLG] and the various types of string theory, I noticed that quantum loops appeared to be very similar to Wilson lines, sometimes called Wilson loops.
Speculation: relating [QLG] to twistor string theory [TST].
1 - Consider this possible analogy involving the Schroedinger equation [SE]:
quantum loops are to helical strings
as
time-independent SE is to time-dependent SE
Time-dependent SE utilizes “i” somewhat like the Hawking concept of imaginary time.
2 - Substitute helicoids [springs or slinky-toys] for all loops in the Rovelli home page image from
http://www.cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~rovelli/loop_quantum_gravity.jpg
This adds a virtual fourth dimension representing time as helical trajectory.
The helix appears to be important in transmitting information in trajectory:
- ballistics due to rifling
- mechanics
--- planetary orbits are concentric relative loops when the sun is motionless
--- planetary orbits are concentric helices when the sun is in motion
These examples appear to make use of the Bars concept of 2T physics.
2T physics may involve the transition from one gauge to the next gauge.
One might also consider these examples a means of transforming Penrose spinors into Penrose twistors.
