[QUOTE="David Horgan, post: 6068616, member: 484904"] Hi YellowBiro, May I make suggest a few things to get you started on learning about quantum gravity. I've personally read and found a number of books very useful so I'll list them below, as you'll notice I have a decided preference for the Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics and the IoP Graduate Student Series: [LIST] [*]A First Course in String Theory by Barton Zwiebach [*]A First Course in Loop Quantum Gravity by Rodolfo Gambini and Jorge Pullin [*]Approaches to Quantum Gravity: Toward a New Understanding of Space, Time and Matter by Daniele Oriti [*]Quantum Gravity (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) by Carlo Rovelli [*]Covariant Loop Quantum Gravity: An Elementary Introduction to Quantum Gravity and Spinfoam Theory (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) by Carlo Rovelli and Francesca Vidotto [*]Modern Canonical Quantum General Relativity (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) by Thomas Thiemann [*]Particle Physics of Brane Worlds and Extra Dimensions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) by Sreerup Raychaudhuri and K. Sridhar [*]Superstring Theory - 25th Anniversary Edition (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics),Volumes 1and 2 by Michael B. Green, John H. Schwarz, Edward Witten [*]The World in Eleven Dimensions: Supergravity, supermembranes and M-theory (Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation)by M.J Duff [*]Cosmology in Gauge Field Theory and String Theory (Graduate Student Series in Physics) by D. Bailin and Alexander Love [*]Supersymmetric Gauge Field Theory and String Theory (Graduate Student Series in Physics) by D. Bailin and Alexander Love [*]Geometry, Topology and Physics (Graduate Student Series in Physics) by Mikio Nakahara [/LIST] That's probably enough books to get started with, to be honest. Now for papers, I suggest, if you haven't already do so, making yourself familiar with arxiv especially [URL]https://arxiv.org/list/gr-qc/recent[/URL], there are thousands and thousands of papers. Some I particularly like are: [LIST] [*]LQG for the Bewildered by Sundance Bilson-Thompson, Deepak Vaid [URL]https://arxiv.org/abs/1402.3586[/URL] [*]D-Brane Primer by Clifford V. Johnson [URL]https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0007170[/URL] [/LIST] Also see the Living Reviews in Relativity [URL]https://www.springer.com/gp/livingreviews/relativity/lrr-articles[/URL]. For example: [LIST] [*]Brane-World Gravity by Roy Maartens and Kazuya Koyama [URL]https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrr-2010-5[/URL] [/LIST] I hope you'll find this useful if you have any questions get in touch.
