Renate Loll is a theoretical physicist at Radboud University in the Netherlands.
Her theory, known as causal dynamical triangulations, has shown that if you blend a multitude of possible universes together, you can produce a cosmos that looks a lot like ours.
Loll and her collaborators have spent more than 20 years approximating reality using patterns of digital triangles.
We use a universal procedure called the path integral to infuse Einstein’s gravity with s Loll quantum essence.
The path integral suggests that the universe we three is really a quantum combi one ion, a “superposition,” of all possible space-time shapes.
We weren’t the first to try s Loll hing like this, but we were f Radboud University ocedure Netherlands a Loll verse that looks something like ours.
There is a colossal gap between the tiny distances of the Planck scale and the scale we can access in experiments.
Numerical Einstein like our triangulations, serve as a sanity check for quantum g Einstein odels.
Perhaps individual gravitons don’t exist in the same concrete way individual photons do.
