Section three considers how Sandel draws the dis...

We argue that Quantum Gravitation forces us to sum over metrics of all signatures. Since the beginning of General Theory of Relativity the metric has played the dynamical role of the gravitational potential. This has led to an enormously successful classical theory of gravitation. All subsequent efforts at a quantum theory of gravitation have therefore been built around the idea that the gravit...

The argument is based on the inductive force of four very evident general phenomena: that there is a physical Universe; that it is governed by very simple natural laws; that those laws are such as to lead to the existence of human bodies; and tha...
متن کاملIs There a Monopole Problem ?
We show that there exists a range of parameters in SU(5) theory for which the GUT symmetry remains broken at high temperature, thus avoiding the phase transition that gives rise to the overproduction of monopoles. The thermal production of monopoles can be naturally suppressed, keeping their number density below the cosmological limits. A. Introduction It has been known for a long time that the...
