Talk:Loop quantum gravity

And, add some intro for those who don't know anything about string theory. The casual reader is not going to read through explanations of ten theories that s/he doesn't understand, before reading this. They're just going to read this, because this is the latest and greatest theory, right? Thanks.

Also it's nice to know that LQG avoids the philosophy of science problems by offering disprovable hypotheses. But does it rely on new math - ff so it still has the philosophy of mathematics problems of a very narrow base of proof checkers. And, are there two mathematical models that result in the same perceived physics? If so that opens up the same questions as in string theory re: reality of math in a world presumably 'built on' physics.

I made the form charges suggested by moving the list of players to the end and putting the links in list form. I disagree that string theory should be explained in the LQG page. String theory is an alternative approach and is referenced here for contrast and because it is likely to be of interest to those who are interested in LQG. I haven't read every paper in the field, but it seems that LQG has made use of math that was previously known in mathematics, but not in physics. I don't know of any math that was developed specifically for LQG.
