Discrete Causal Theory [E-Book] : Emergent Spacetime and the Causal Metric Hypothesis / by Benjamin F. Dribus.
This book evaluates and suggests potentially critical improvements to causal set theory, one of the best-motivated approaches to the outstanding problems of fundamental physics. Spacetime structure is of central importance to physics beyond general relativity and the standard model. The causal metri...
