AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the absence of a frequent poster from the forum, speculating on the reasons for their departure, which is believed to be a focus on original research. The conversation touches on notable figures in the field, such as John Baez and Rudolf Gambini, with references to their contributions and works related to Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). There is a mention of a potential integration of Loop Quantum Gravity with SuperString Theories, although this is viewed as a challenging endeavor. Additionally, the topic of Quantum Chaos and SuperSymmetric Quantum Cosmology is introduced, with one participant expressing interest in writing a thesis on Quantum Chaotic Field Theory. The discussion maintains a light-hearted tone, with playful references and camaraderie among participants.

I remember that he was a frequent poster here, what reason he had to stop posting here?

Thanks!

Also John Baez sometimes posted here, you can see the posts in BSM.
I have some recollection that in the 1990's I read some paper by Zimmerman (can't recall if its about Canonical Loop Quantum Gravity).
A few years ago Rudolf Gambini sent me a draft of his intro book for UG students on LQG while I asked him for the draft since at my school no one works in LQG.
I believe there's no time like the present to read his draft.

Eventually some sort of Marriage between Loop Quantum Gravity and SuperString Theories is possible, but it would be quite aggressive feat.
Loopy-Stringy same blah blah blah...
🙃


And we should add to the fun Quantum Chaos, SuperSymmmetric Quantum Cosmology.

I thought of writing a thesis on Quantum Chaotic Field Theory.
Cheers Mates and Girls!

IIRC, he realized he needed to devote far more time to publishable original research. Although I was disappointed that he would not be around much anymore, I understood completely.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
