Three key aspects of quantum gravity are considered in this book: phenomenology, potential experimental aspects and foundational theory. The phenomenology is the treatment of metric quantum fluctuations as torsional curves that deviate from classical expectations. This leads to possible experimental configurations that may detect such fluctuations. Most of these proposed experiments are quantum optical measurements of subtle quantum gravity effects in the interaction of photons and atoms. The foundational discussions attempt to find an substratum to string theories, which are motivated by the phenomenological treatment. Quantum gravity is not the quantization of general relativity, but is instead the embedding of quantum theory and gravitation into a more fundamental field theoretic framework.

Published by World Scientific in 2005, this sophisticated text serves as an essential, high-level analysis of the intersections between quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and gravitational physics. Condition Report: This volume is completely brand new and remains tightly sealed in its original publisher's factory shrink wrap. It is a premium library-grade cloth hardcover featuring perfectly sharp, pointed corners, pristine crisp edges, and a flawless, uncreased spine. This is an immaculate, investment-grade copy that has been flawlessly preserved?ideal for serious academics, university collections, and advanced physics literature collectors. This book is HARD TO FIND in this condition! About the Book: In this monograph, Lawrence B. Crowell investigates the foundational challenges of quantum gravity and the underlying microscopic structure of spacetime. The book explores how quantum fluctuations disrupt the classical, smooth manifold of Einstein's general relativity at the Planck scale, giving rise to quantum foam, black hole thermodynamics, and complex horizon behaviors. It examines advanced models including string theory, loop quantum gravity, and the role of topology change in the early universe. This text offers a mathematically rigorous yet accessible framework for graduate students and researchers aiming to master the current paradigms of quantum cosmology. Author: Lawrence B.
