  • Background Independence in Classical and Quantum Gravity

    by Dr James Read ...
    It is often claimed that Einstein's magnum opus---his 1915 theory of General Relativity---is distinguished from other theories of space and time in virtue of its background independence. It's also often claimed that background independence is an essential feature of any quantum theory of gravity. But are these claims true? This book aspires to offer definitive answers to both of these questions, ... Read more

  • The Singularities as Ontological Limits of the General Relativity

    by Nicolae Sfetcu ...
    ESSAYS CollectionThe singularities from the general relativity resulting by solving Einstein's equations were and still are the subject of many scientific debates: Are there singularities in spacetime, or not? Big Bang was an initial singularity? If singularities exist, what is their ontology? Is the general theory of relativity a theory that has shown its limits in this case?In this essay I argue ...
