A successful theory would have profound consequences for our understanding of space, time and matter. This collection of essays written by eminent physicists and philosophers discusses these consequences and examines the most important conceptual questions among philosophers and physicists in their search for a quantum theory of gravity. Comprised of three parts, the book explores the emergence of classical spacetime, the nature of time, and important questions of the interpretation, metaphysics, and epistemology of quantum gravity. These essays will appeal to both physicists and philosophers of science working on problems in foundational physics, specifically that of quantum gravity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Quantum gravity. 700 1 $a Huggett, Nick, $e editor. 700 1 $a Matsubara, Keizo, $d 1977- $e editor. 700 1 $a WuÌthrich, Christian, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Beyond spacetime $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY, USA : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108655705 $w (DLC) 2019038857 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E0045A50EDAA11EA9A34A78C36ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
