Physics, Philosophy, Observers and Multiverses
T. Banks
We comment on the fact that certain mathematical models that have been proposed in the quantum gravity literature, may not be subject to experimental checks, even if they turn out…
"Observables" in de Sitter Quantum Gravity: in Perturbation Theory and Beyond
Tom Banks
A review of some errors made by the author and others in their search for quantum models of gravity in cosmological space-times that asymptote to de Sitter (dS) space in the future…
On the Impossibility of Precise Verification of Models of Quantum Gravity
T. Banks
We argue that no theoretical model of quantum gravity in a causal diamond whose boundary has finite maximal area, can be verified with arbitrary precision by experiments done in th…
Some Thoughts on the Quantum Theory of de Sitter Space
T. Banks
This is a summary of two lectures I gave at the Davis Conference on Cosmic Inflation. I explain why the quantum theory of de Sitter (dS) space should have a finite number of states…
