Gravity and the Quantum
arXiv:gr-qc/0410054 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/7/1/198
Abstract
The goal of this article is to present a broad perspective on quantum gravity for \emph{non-experts}. After a historical introduction, key physical problems of quantum gravity are illustrated. While there are a number of interesting and insightful approaches to address these issues, over the past two decades sustained progress has primarily occurred in two programs: string theory and loop quantum gravity. The first program is described in Horowitz's contribution while my article will focus on the second. The emphasis is on underlying ideas, conceptual issues and overall status of the program rather than mathematical details and associated technical subtleties.
A general review of quantum gravity addresed non-experts. To appear in the special issue `Space-time Hundred Years Later' of NJP; J.Pullin and R. Price (editors). Typos and an attribution corrected; a clarification added in section 2.C
