Why does Stephen Hawking omit all mention Loop Gravity?
I have read his popular books from Brief history of time to Universe in a nuthsell to "Stephen Hawking and the Theory of Everything" Stephen Hawking's Universe A Briefer History of Time
From what I recall, he absolutely spends time "starting over" in each one on supergravity, GUT's, wormholes, higher dimensions, strings, superstrings, M-theory, p-branes. He more or less reintroduces these topics in each book, as if re-cycling a wikipedia article, and speculates on how they solve everything and black hole entropy, etc.
I don't recall he spends a single sentence on loop gravity (and others such as emergent scenarios) anywhere or any time, either in those books or in the popular press, or considers the possibility that GUT is simply the wrong approach.
