thanks Marcus- nice to see Max T pushing his IMNSHO very important Multiverse ideas further-
The Third Road to Quantum Gravity
- Thread starter setAI

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the potential impact of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in advancing the understanding of Quantum Gravity (QG), particularly through the observation of micro black holes. This "Third Road" to QG emphasizes Black Hole Thermodynamics as a promising avenue, potentially overshadowing string theory and loop quantum gravity. Advances in computation suggest that black holes could serve as ultimate quantum computers, further intertwining black hole physics with the fabric of the universe. The conversation also touches on the need for interdisciplinary approaches, particularly through category theory, to better understand the relationship between logic, geometry, and quantum mechanics. Overall, the emergence of black hole research could redefine the landscape of theoretical physics.

Just a reminder that the neutrino mass predictions are available on Carl's website at

Kea, is this of interest to "Third-roadies"?
Scott Morrison is an Australian who just did his PhD in Berkeley under Vaughn Jones.
http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.1503
It is about describing all representations of the Quantum Group SLn
and in particular he confirms a conjecture of Kim about the quantum
LieAlgebra sl4
He handles the problem catty-functishly.
He also cites Wikipedia articles in his PhD thesis bibliography which seems to me like an Australian thing to do. It struck me as good and cheerful work.
Greg Kuperberg supplied the problem (UC Davis is only 50 miles northwards up the pike). I would be pleased if you told me that Scott's thesis might be of some worldly (physical) good.

Why, thanks, Marcus. Yes, I highly recommend Scott's work. Actually, I met Scott in Taipa in the north island last year. He came with Vaughn Jones and Mike Freedman and gang for a kiwi maths conference with a lot of quantum computation lectures. I learned a lot.
