Recently, I read a very intereting paper by Thomas Thiemann, It is based on this idea that if the Lagrangean for a scalar field coupled to General Relativity only contains derivatives, then it is possible to completely deparametrise the theory. This means that 1. Physical observables...

I think this paper is very exciting since it activates the basic idea of primary Casimir effect as a root to identify the geometrical fluctuation of space, before big bang. However, what I do not understand is that how one can talk about "charged vacuum", those vacuum bubbles which get charged...

Marcus: Thanks for inviting me to another thread. I will read it but it seems to be too long! I will write about the quantum information appraoch soon. it is basically a thrid appraoch different from Ansari's and isolated horizon. Thanks for asking. Self-adjoint: My read is that any single node...

I agree Chronos that Ansari's work is a critical point for LQG, if his work is right, which simply seems to be. Though, it cannot rule out or in LQG. There are some dark points Chronos. I think this is not a physical or unphysical result at all. Let me put this in this way. Lee Smolin in his...

Recently, I read a beautiful paper in which it is proven that ANY surface in LQG contains degeneracy, no matter it being a boundary horizon or whatever else. (http://uk.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0603121) This degeneracy is such that the surface degeneracy is A/4. This is a critial discovery in LQG and...

"Black string solutions with negative cosmological constant" By Robert B. Mann, Eugen Radu, Cristian Stelea It is a remarkable work in my point of view. They present an arguments for the existence of new black string solutions with negative cosmological constant. These higher-dimensional...

To me MOND is a toy model not a theory.
