String Theory Vs Loop Quantum Gravity

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the preference between string theory (ST) and loop quantum gravity (LQG) among quantum and theoretical physicists. Participants are encouraged to share their reasons for favoring one theory over the other, highlighting the ongoing debate in the scientific community. The thread emphasizes the argumentative nature of the topic, suggesting that it may not align with typical physics forums unless supported by scientific studies. The conversation aims to explore the merits and drawbacks of each theory. Engaging in this discussion could provide insights into the current landscape of theoretical physics.

This is a question currently pondered by many Quantum physicists and theoretical physicists.

I was just wondering how many of you prefer ST(string theory) as opposed to LQG(loop quantum gravity.) Please provide points and reasons regarding your answer.

I will provide an opinion when a few begin to respond.
Thank you for your participation
Note:This thread is purely argumentative.

As posed, this is not a suitable topic for PF. However, if you find a study regarding the opinions of the scientific community, then that would be suitable.
 

Thread 'Questioning the timescape model'

"Supernovae evidence for foundational change to cosmological models" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.15143 The paper claims: We compare the standard homogeneous cosmological model, i.e., spatially flat ΛCDM, and the timescape cosmology which invokes backreaction of inhomogeneities. Timescape, while statistically homogeneous and isotropic, departs from average Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker evolution, and replaces dark energy by kinetic gravitational energy and its gradients, in explaining...
