"Quantum
Gravity"
The book "Quantum
Gravity", is a complete introduction to the the
problems raised by the attempts to understand quantum spacetime
and to the loop approach to quantum gravity.
It is published by Cambridge
University Press will soon appear in paperback (that is, cheaper).
Here is the CUP
catalog webpage of the book.
Here
is a list of Errata
for
the book. I am grateful for indications of any other mistake.
Reviews of the book can be found on the Amazon.com
page of the book (where you can buy the book) and on chronon.org.

"Anassimandro di Mileto"
The book
"Anassimandro
di Mileto", on which I have been working on spare
time for several years, is completed.
The book is about the ancient Greek philosopher Anaximander, and is a
reflection on the nature of scientific thinking.
It is written in
Italian. To get to the file of the book:
Anassimandro
di Mileto. (
Anaximander) Any comment is welcome.
Italiano:
Il libro "Anassimandro
di Mileto", su
cui ho lavorato per diverso tempo è quasi terminato.
Il libro parla dell'antico filosofo
greco Anassimandro, ed è una riflessione sulla natura del
pensiero scientifico.
E' scritto in italiano. Per la
versione currente: Anassimandro
di Mileto. (Anaximander) Ogni commento
è più che benvenuto.
New
: The book will soon be published in France by Dunod.
CD and livre numerique "Temps et Espace"
A two hours conversation on the historical evolution of the concepts of
time and space has been recorded by the the editor
De Vive Voix, and
published as a CD, as well as an Ebook. They are available
here:
CD,
Ebook.

- (New)
Video of
talk
- My
general talk on Loop Quantum Gravity, at the STRING 08
conference in Geneve, from the CERN
website.
- Some talks
- 1. "Graviton
propagator from Loop Quantum Gravity", slides (2.3M) of my tuesday
September 26th 2006 telephone-seminar at the ILQGS (International Loop
Quantum Gravity Seminar).
- 2. Slides of a talk (at the Ecole National Superieur de Lyon)
giving a general presentation of Loop Quantum Gravity: in pdf (1.1 Mb), and (the original version) keynote
(1.3 Mb).
- 3. On the computation of n-point
functions in quantum
gravity: Here is a video
(the first 20 seconds are silent, but then the sound appears), and here
are the slides.
This was at the Loop05 conference
in Potsdam.
- The center of my research interest is in quantum gravity.
A comprehensive review article on loop quantum gravity has appeared on
the electronic journal " Living
Reviews in Relativity". You can find the article on
here. You can get an (old) short live description of
what I
do here.

- Interview
on ARTE
- A
long interview, discussing aspects of the scientific
research, can be found on the online site of the ARTE television chanel.
- Course
"la Naissance de la Science"
- Webpage
of the new course La Naissance de la Science (The birth of Science)
that I am giving at the Université de la
Médtiérranée.
- Images of loop
quantum gravity
- Here
is an image of a
three-dimensional model giving an intuitive picture of the "loopy"
structure of space predicted by loop quantum gravity at very short
scale. Here
is another
pretty loop-quantum-gravity image. It appeared in a 1993
Discover magazine article on loop quantum gravity.
