Effective Spacetime Understanding Emergence in Effective Field Theory and Quantum Gravity
This book discusses the notion that quantum gravity may represent the "breakdown" of spacetime at extremely high energy scales. If spacetime does not exist at the fundamental level, then it has to be considered "emergent", in other words an effective structure, valid at low energ...
