(Quantum cosmology) Collins Dictionary of Astronomy, Feb. 25, 2005 (Quantum cosmology ... theories that encompass the meeting of gravity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology at a time - the Planck time - very shortly after the Big Bang.) Oxford Reference Online, Feb. 25, 2005 (Quantum cosmology: the study of the very earliest stages of the Universe after the Big Bang, including the properties of the initial singularity and of the Planck era in general. This field is highly speculative since it requires an understanding of quantum gravitational effects, and there is as yet no satisfactory theory of quantum gravity.) Universal book of astronomy, c2004: p. 412 (Quantum cosmology ... study of the moments if the universe after the Big Bang, a stage known as the Planck era. Because this field demands an understanding of how spacetime behaves at the quantum level, and there is not yet an adequate quantum theory of gravity, it is highly speculative) |
