Summary

The general relativistic community hoped that loop quantum gravity would help them achieve quantum gravity and particle theory, while string theorists propose a renormalizable theory of gravity. The mathematical universe hypothesis may not be a new idea according to some philosophers.

Gauge Theory
Summary

The theory of gauge calculus explains how to translate a shift in the definition of the functions and derivatives so that the underlying physics remains unchanged. It is the foundation of theories like quantum electrodynamics, which explains the behavior of photons and electrons.
