No presentism in quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2010 This essay offers a reaction to the recent resurgence of presentism in the philosophy of time. What is of particular interest in this renaissance is that a number of recent arguments supporting presentism are crafted in an untypically naturalistic vein ...

Quantum Gravity Meets &HPS [PDF]
, 2010 I examine the early history of quantum gravity and comment on its suitability as an episode that demands an integrated approach to history and philosophy of ...

Environmental influences on the maximum quantum yield of terrestrial primary production
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1709-1722, August 2026.Temperature and aridity effects on terrestrial ecosystems' intrinsic quantum yield. Summary Historically, terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) have assigned the intrinsic (maximum) quantum yield of photosynthesis (ϕ0) a constant value for each plant functional type. However, experimental studies have shown that ϕ0 – when measured on light‐adapted leaves

Quantum Gravity: A Primer for Philosophers. [PDF]
, 2008 ‘Quantum Gravity’ does not denote any existing theory: the field of quantum gravity is very much a ‘work in progress’. As you will see in this chapter, there are multiple lines of attack each with the same core goal: to find a theory that unifies, in ...

A locally finite model for gravity [PDF]
, 2008 Matter interacting classically with gravity in 3+1 dimensions usually gives rise to a continuum of degrees of freedom, so that, in any attempt to quantize the theory, ultraviolet divergences are nearly inevitable.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.A unified, reusable modeling pipeline enables task‐driven design of soft robots across actuator families and task scenarios. High‐fidelity simulations are compressed into compact pseudo‐rigid‐body joint surrogates, while a design‐conditioned meta‐model generates new surrogates from geometry parameters without rerunning finite element method.

Effective f(R) Actions for Modified Loop Quantum Cosmologies via Order Reduction
Universe, 2023 General Relativity is an extremely successful theory, at least for weak gravitational fields; however, it breaks down at very high energies, such as in correspondence to the initial singularity.

Black holes and covariance in effective quantum gravity
Physical Review DThe longstanding issue of general covariance in effective models of quantum gravity is addressed, which arises when canonical quantum gravity leads to a semiclassical model described by an effective Hamiltonian constraint. In the context of spherically symmetric models, general covariance is precisely formulated into a set of equations, leading to the ...
