Does anyone have information about a book by Rudy Vaas supposed to come out this year, called Beyond the Big Bang.

The publisher is Springer Verlag.

Vaas is Philosophy of Science professional who doubles as science journalist: writing popular articles for Bild der Wissenschaft (analogous to SciAm).

For example SLAC/Stanford library has this about a Vaas piece in Bild. Wiss. of June 2006.

What was before the big bang? (In German)
R. Vaas . 2006. 2pp.
Published in Bild.Wiss.2006N6:42-43,2006.

Vaas has written extensively about quantum gravity and Ashtekar has posted English translations of several Vaas articles at his website.

Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'

A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...

Thread 'Detecting Gravitons?'

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
