After almost a century, the field of quantum gravity remains as
difficult and inspiring as ever. Today, it finds itself a field
divided, with two major contenders dominating: string theory, the
leading exemplification of the covariant quantization program; and
loop quantum gravity, the canonical scheme based on Dirac's
constrained Hamiltonian quantization. However, there are now a
number of other innovative schemes providing promising new avenues.
Encapsulating the latest debates on this topic, this book details
the different approaches to understanding the very nature of space
and time. It brings together leading researchers in each of these
approaches to quantum gravity to explore these competing
possibilities in an open way. Its comprehensive coverage explores
all the current approaches to solving the problem of quantum
gravity, addressing the strengths and weaknesses of each approach,
to give researchers and graduate students an up-to-date view of the
field.
