Consequences of quantum gravity on grander scales are expected to be enormous.  In Quantum Cosmology, A Fundamental Description of the Universe, Martin Bojowald discusses his theory to see how black holes behave and where our universe came from.  Applications like loop quantum gravity and cosmology have by now shed much light on cosmic evolution of a universe in a fundamental, microscopic description.  Modern techniques demonstrate how the universe may have come from a non-singular phase before the Big Bang, how equations for the evolution of structure can be derived, how observations could be used to test these claims, but  also what fundamental limitations remain to our knowledge of the universe before the Big Bang. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v835 606 $aGravitation 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 676 $a530.1 700 $aBojowald$b Martin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0515320 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466709903316 996 $aQuantum Cosmology$9855581 997 $aUNISA
