Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) applies the non-perturbative techniques of loop quantum gravity to homogeneous cosmological models, yielding a quantum replacement of the classical big-bang singularity by ...

Physicists from around the country converged at UC Santa Barbara for two days of talks and camaraderie recently in memory of esteemed physicist Professor Jim Hartle, one of four cofounders of the ...

Bouncing cosmology offers an alternative to the classical Big Bang paradigm by postulating that the Universe undergoes a contraction phase followed by a non-singular bounce and then re-expands. This ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...
