"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?
