Thanks a lot, very helpful. Is the Wheeler-Dewitt equation used much in modern research? It seems like LGQ uses it as a foundation, what about string theory?

thanks, I am actually looking for a general relativistic formulation, if that is even possible. I would like to understand it and its relation in terms of general relativty.

I'm looking for a good introduction source on the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. Anybody know any literature (book or article) that will help me wrap my mind around it. Thanks

I'm trying to figure out what happens to the energy eigenstates when the quantum harmonic oscillator potential is over [0..infinity] rather then [-infinity..infinity]. Originaly its hw(n +1/2)... Thanks

So what evidence would convince god believers that god does not exist? Of course god cannot be disproved, because it's not a scientific question; however, an accumulation of facts could lead to many contradictions. So what's the nail in the coffin? Of course religious people will/could...

I think I have decided to take the group theory course but not the second course. I figured out I don't need to take the second course, but rather I will take a second sequence in real analysis (measure theory, functional analysis) and a sequence in classic and modern differential geometry...

Well I am interested in getting into quantum gravity, string theory or cosmology. As my education progresses I will see what fits best. In terms of the algebra courses, one course is intermediate algebra (group theory). The other course is an advanced course in groups, fields and galois theory...

I am doing my undergrad degree with the goal of working in the field of theoretical physics. I'm starting my third year and I don't know if I should do a physics/math degree or math/minorphysics degree. The difference would be more advanced courses in advanced algebra and the cost would be a...
