Overview

"The Standard Model is inconsistent with that of general relativity, to the point that one or both theories break down under certain conditions (for example within known space time singularities like the Big Bang and the centers of black holes beyond the event horizon). The appearance of singularities in any physical theory is an indication that something is wrong and that there is a need for new physics. Singularities can be avoided in GR and any field theory through the introduction of an efficient regularization procedure as this book directs. Regularization is a method of modifying observables which have singularities in order to make them finite by the introduction of a suitable parameter called regulator. The regulator, also known as a ""cutoff"", models our lack of knowledge about physics at unobserved scales (e.g. scales of small size or large energy levels). It compensates for the possibility that ""new physics"" (beyond the SM) may be discovered at those scales which the present theory is unable to model, while enabling the current theory to give accurate predictions as an ""effective theory"" within its intended scale of use. Therefore the main objective of this book is to discover new physics (Quantum Gravity) at those scales (or extra dimensions) which the General relativity theory and Quantum mechanics is unable to model. This has been achieved and remains the work of an experimenter to verify. While this is a new approach to quantum gravity, it reproduces the results in loop quantum gravity and string theory as the book indicates. This book provides a complete overview of quantum gravity from the frontiers of theoretical physics research for graduate students and researchers."

Author Information

"Balungi Francis was born in Kampala, Uganda, to a single poor mother, grew up in Kawempe, and later joined Makerere Universty in 2006, graduating with a Bachelor Science degree in Land Surveying in 2010. For four years he taught in Kampala City high schools, majoring in the fields of Gravitation and Quantum Physics. His first book, ""Mathematical Foundation of the Quantum theory of Gravity,"" won the Young Kampala Innovative Prize and was mentioned in the African Next Einstein Book Prize (ANE). He has spent over 15years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, gravity, in addition to astrophysics, unified physics and geographical information systems . These studies led to his groundbreaking theories, published papers, books and patented inventions in the science of Quantum Gravity, which have received worldwide recognition. From these discoveries, Balungi founded the SUSP (Solutions to the Unsolved Scientific Problems) Project Foundation in 2004 - now known as the SUSP Science Foundation. As its current Director of Research, Balungi leads physicists, mathematicians and engineers in exploring Quantum Gravity principles and their implications in our world today and for future generations. Balungi launched the Visionary School of Quantum Gravity in 2016 in order to bring the learning and community further together. It's the first and only Quantum Gravity physics program of its kind, educating thousands of students from over 80 countries. The book ""Quantum Gravity in a Nutshell1"", a most recommend book in quantum gravity research, was produced based on Balungi's discoveries and their potential for generations to come. Balungi is currently guiding the Foundation, speaking to audiences worldwide, and continuing his groundbreaking research."
