Euclidean Quantum Gravity and its relevance

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Euclidean Quantum Gravity remains a relevant area of research, particularly in the context of Stephen Hawking's contributions. The compilation of his papers, as well as "The Future of Cosmology," offers valuable insights into ongoing discussions in theoretical physics. Researchers focusing on general relativity and quantization techniques should consider these works for their historical and scientific significance. Additionally, the book "Quantum Fluctuations of Spacetime" is noted for its relevance to current studies in chaotic systems and stress-energy tensor applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity principles
  • Familiarity with quantization techniques in theoretical physics
  • Knowledge of stress-energy tensor applications
  • Experience with numerical solutions for chaotic systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Stephen Hawking's compilation of papers on Euclidean Quantum Gravity
  • Explore "The Future of Cosmology" for insights into contemporary cosmological theories
  • Investigate the book "Quantum Fluctuations of Spacetime" for its implications on chaotic systems
  • Study advanced quantization methods and their engineering applications in physics
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, cosmologists, and researchers in general relativity seeking to deepen their understanding of quantum gravity and its applications.

Hello all, I was wondering if Hawking's approach is still relevant. Found a book on his compilation of papers an amazon and had heard a talk by him suggesting it as a view to continue research. With all the hoo ha on M-theory and etc, would it be possible to buy this collection of papers for anything outside of its historical worth?

In addition, how relevant is "The Future of Cosmology" the set of papers written in honor of Hawking?

Most of my research deals with general relativity, looking at different means of quantization and seeking engineering applications/workarounds of the stress-energy tensor, in addition to solving chaotic systems posed in large scale structures numerically.

So far it appears to have been mentioned in a book "Quantum Fluctuations of Spacetime"
