Out of Nowhere: The Emergence of Spacetime in Theories of Quantum Gravity
Out of Nowhere helps physicists clarify what new conceptual framework—not resting on space and time—may be necessary to achieve a theory of quantum gravity. This book also shows philosophers how the world may not be spatiotemporal at root, and what kind of a world we might then live in.
