LQG

LQG, or loop quantum gravity is a new and exciting form of math and TOE (theory of everything) that challenges the realities posited by physicists who advocate superstring theory. one of the hotest up-and-coming LQG theorists is 31 years old, Fotini Markopoulou Kalamara.

the most exciting part about this whole LQG thing is the way that fotini infuses the way that she looks at it with her upbringing as the daughter of two scultures. the mixture of art and science blows me away and it is something that i strive and hunger to reproduce in my own art. this is the sort of stuff that inspires me. I had read this article quite awhile back, right after it came out in 2002 i believe. it took an email and a responce from alan boyle of cosmic log to help me figure out just exactly who t was that i remembered reading about. sure enough the two of us figured it out and pretty soon alan is going to do a piece on woman cosmologists. you know i will totally be linking that article! anyway that's about it for now. i will write more someday i think
