AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for studying Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) and related topics such as String Theory and Quantum Gravity. Participants emphasize the importance of mastering foundational subjects like Quantum Mechanics (QM), Quantum Field Theory (QFT), General Relativity (GR), and classical field theory, particularly electrodynamics, before delving into more advanced concepts. A humorous exchange highlights the value of understanding established knowledge in physics as a prerequisite for exploring new theories, illustrating the ongoing dialogue about the progression of scientific understanding.

Can anyone suggest any text, which I can start work on LQT, STRING THEORY, QUANTUM GRAVITY.

What is LQT? Perhaps you meant LQG?

And have you already mastered QM, QFT and GR? (If not, you should do that first.)
 
Don't forget classical field theory (particularly electrodynamics) ;-)). There is this famous dialogue between an astronomer and a king. The latter was asking "What's new in the heavens." The astronomer: "Sire, do you already know all the old stuff?"

Ha, ha, that's a great answer! :biggrin::biggrin:
Now I will use that answer when people ask me "What's new in physics?" just for the sake of starting a conversation.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
