In one of the quantum gravity books. It is mentioned that there are 4 roads to quantum gravity:
1. quantising General Relativity
2. quantising a different classical theory, while still having general relativity emerge as a low- energy (large-distance) limit.
3. having general relativity emerge as a low-energy limit of a quantum theory that is not a quantization of a classical theory
4. having both general relativity and quantum theory emerge from a theory very different from both
You have listings of many Quantum gravity models in your earlier post. Are they part of the above or are they new additions? How do you sort categorize each based on the above classifications?
I'm interested in 4. What models have you come across that is about both general relativity and quantum theory emerge from a theory very different from both, and which of them is your favorite, and why?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Oh. I think it's a bit off topic here. Maybe you can reply at the Planck Scale Physics thread where you enumerate the different QG programme at Beyond the Standard Model forum .

But if you have any idea how many billions and billions and billions of galaxies are there.. let me know... and instead of using billions and billions and billions.. wonder if there is another word to use instead..
