Loop Quantum Gravity

Montag, 5. März, 15:15 Uhr, KIP Gr. HS

In order to resolve challenging puzzles in fundamental physics such as in modern cosmology, a quantum theory of gravity is required. One candidate for such a theory is Loop Quantum Gravity to which we give an introduction. We then investigate what LQG has to say about the quantum physics of the early universe.
