At the core of loop quantum gravity is a framework for nonperturbative quantization of diffeomorphism-invariant gauge theories, which one might call loop quantization. While originally developed in order to quantize vacuum general relativity in 3+1 dimensions, the formalism can accommodate arbitrary spacetime dimensionalities, fermions, an arbitrary gauge group (or even quantum group), and supersymmetry, and results in a quantization of the kinematics of the corresponding diffeomorphism-invariant gauge theory.

In a nutshell, loop quantization is the result of applying C*-algebraic quantization to a non-canonical algebra of gauge-invariant classical observables. Non-canonical means that the basic observables quantized are not generalized coordinates and their conjugate momenta. Instead, the algebra generated by spin network observables (built from holonomies) and field strength fluxes is used.

wow!

Meson-brained Kinetic-less Joke

I told you guys about LQG years ago and you were all like "Oh no, String Theory is so great!"

And now look at yallselves. You got your shit ruined.

Being the studious german you are, you were probably scribbling away in some basement cellar for years before coming to appreciate the explanatory power of this alternative theory.

guys please.

sorry

Where's Kracus when we need his insights.
