Francesca, Thank you for correcting me. Funny paper this one from Rovelli. Sure it makes one like more LQG than Strings. I agree that, whether the theory you choose is the correct one or not, the most important is that you enjoy the process. And as more math it has more I like it. I...

Thank you Marcus, for your response. I did my undegraduate course at Unicamp and UFMG (the former in Campinas, Sao Paulo state, the other in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais state). I have some indications of researchers at Unesp (Sao Paulo) and CBPF (Rio de Janeiro). I will try to talk with them...

Thank you for your response. I think this is really a difficult question (which way...). From a point of view from who is far distant from the full technical details, it seems to me that maybe a good researcher in QG should try to learn from both theories. Besides that, I think that my choice...

I am looking for a master program in QG. I would like to study LQG at first, but I am not exactly confident that this is the best choice. Please, correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know the biggest problems in LQG and Strings are: LQG: is background independent, but its classical...

Thanks Sauron, thanks for your response, it was very useful. I will get the Visser´s book when I have the opportunity. thanks, JVDornas

can quantum gravity help? I know wormholes are solutions to Einstein´s equations. What I tried to say (ask) is whether a quantum theory of gravity can help in the study and problems of wormholes.

Hi there, I am still a lay person in this subject, so I have to ask. Don´t we need quantum gravity to study wormholes ? thanks JVD

It is good news Hi Christine, It is good to know that Smolin is coming to visit Brazil. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend his lecture. Águas de Lindóia is far from Belo Horizonte, where I live. But it will be nice and helpful if you could make a review about the lecture, if you...

Thanks Hi Christine, nice to talk to you again. I had seen some books you told me already. But now with your suggestion I can guide myself better. I am anxious to start studing LQG, but I will have to wait more yet. Thank you. jvDornas

Thanks Marcus, thank you for your attention. Some books I had acquired already, but with your reply I can study with more orientation. I am planning my studies for the next two years and I will include those disciplines. I hope I can introduce myself to LQG afterwards. best, JvDornas

Hi, here in Brazil doesn´t seem to have a researcher specialized in LQG. I think I will have to do my doctorate research in another field and just afterwards study LQG on my own. Could anybody help me to make a list of the disciplines I should study to comprehend and do research in LQG ...
