Abstract
In the present paper, we outline and expound the fundamental and novel qualitative-cum-philosophical premises, principles, ideas, concepts, constructions and results that originate from our ongoing research project of applying the new conceptual panoply and the novel technical machinery of Abstract Differential Geometry (ADG) to various persistently outstanding issues in Quantum Gravity (QG) (Mallios and Raptis Int. J. Theor. Phys. 40, 1885, 2004, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 41, 1857, 2002, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 42, 1479, 2003; Raptis Int. J. Theor. Phys. 39, 1233, 2000, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 39, 1703, 2000, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 45, 79, 2006, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 46, 688, 2007, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 45, 1495, 2006, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 46, 1137, 2007, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 46, 3009, 2007; Raptis and Zapatrin Int. J. Theor. Phys. 39, 1, 2000, Class. Quant. Grav. 20, 4187, 2001). This paper may be regarded as a sequel to the paper (Raptis Int. J. Theor. Phys. 46, 3009, 2007) in the aftermath of the paper (Raptis 2024), which is currently in press. At the end of the paper, we discuss the potential philosophical repercussions of two possible future research routes that the main stream of our applications of ADG to QG may bifurcate towards in view of three independent, but overlapping, research papers that are currently under development (Raptis 2024a, 2024b, 2024c).
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Theoretical Physics publishes original research and reviews in theoretical physics and neighboring fields. Dedicated to the unification of the latest physics research, this journal seeks to map the direction of future research by original work in traditional physics like general relativity, quantum theory with relativistic quantum field theory,as used in particle physics, and by fresh inquiry into quantum measurement theory, and other similarly fundamental areas, e.g. quantum geometry and quantum logic, etc.
