"The first hazard is well known in Euclidean quantum gravity. It is called “minbus”
or “baby universe” [6]. ...

The approach is called “causal dynamical triangulation” (CDT) and has been shown
numerically to provide “birth control” [9]"

Why is this paper co-authored by someone working at Mount Sinai hospital in Toronto? Is anyone else confused by this?
 
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...
