http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/archives/000713.html" has a new post about CDT. He goes on about continuum limits and doesn't believe Reuter on the GR renormalization fixed point, suggesting (on no evidence that I could see) that the GR doesn't have the right kind for a good continuum limit of a lattice theory.

Distler is the go-to guy for critiquing theories on quantum gravity and this is his newest, so enjoy!

thanks. I see the discussion is now some dozen posts long----including some by Urs Schreiber, Moshe Rozali, Greg Kuperberg.

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...
