Lee Smolin: Principles for Quantum Gravity

Abstract: I discuss several proposed principles we might expect a quantum theory of gravity to satisfy, including background independence, the fundamental role of causality, and appropriate versions of the holographic principle and the equivalence principle, both suitably modified. I argue that a test a proposed set of principles should satisfy is to allow the derivation of general relativity as a classical limit, directly from the principles.

Powerful, intriguing, and inspiring. Beautifully explained!!!

I believe space(time) is a coarse graining of some other classical process and so forth to infinity. That's why i think it have a relation to fractal geometry.
