Beschreibung
Huggett and Wÿthrich explore loop quantum gravity and string theory, which unify the two main pillars of contemporary physics: quantum theory (of the small), and general relativity (of gravity, and the large). These theories promise a revolution in our understanding of space and time that would outdo Einstein's.

Über den Autor
Nick Huggett (PhD Rutgers University, 1995) is an LAS Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago. His specialties are the philosophy of science and the philosophy of physics. His early publications concentrated on quantum field theory, and theories of space from antiquity to the present. In recent years he has been collaborating with Christian Wÿthrich (University of Geneva) on a project on the philosophy of quantum gravity. He has written or edited six books and over 50 articles on these topics.

Christian Wüthrich (PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2006) is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Geneva, where he heads the Geneva Symmetry Group. He works primarily in philosophy of physics, philosophy of science, and metaphysics. From 2006 to 2015, he was at the University of California, San Diego. He is the Co-Director (with Nick Huggett) of the Beyond Spacetime research project on the philosophy of quantum gravity. He has edited six books or special issues of journals and has published over 40 articles.
