Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity.
Una chiacchierata su Anassimandro, e la scienza, in un luogo magico.
Parlo di Anassimandro, di gravit� quantistica, della natura della scienza, e del conflitto fra scienza e religione.
I give an overview of the theory, after the momentous developments and the results of the last few years.
"Anassimandro di Mileto"
The book****"Anassimandro di Mileto"** is about the ancient Greek philosopher Anaximander, and is a reflection on the nature of scientific thinking.
New : The book will appear also in Portugese (Loyola Publisher) and in Greek (Yannou editions).
Italiano: Il libro ****"Anassimandro di Mileto"**parla dell'antico filosofo greco Anassimandro, ed � una riflessione sulla natura del pensiero scientifico.
E' scritto in italiano.New : Il libro � pubblicato da Mondadori Universit�. Pu� essere ordinato qui, a Ibis.it

Video of talk
My general talk on Loop Quantum Gravity, at the STRING 08 conference in Geneve, from the CERN website.
Alain Connes tells the story of our meeting
La rencontre avec Alain Connes
Some talks
1. Marcel Grossmann 2012: My conference on Black Hole entropy
2. Marcel Grossmann 2012: My conference on Covariant LQG
3. "Graviton propagator from Loop Quantum Gravity", slides (2.3M) of my tuesday September 26th 2006 telephone-seminar at the ILQGS (International Loop Quantum Gravity Seminar).
4. Slides of a talk (at the Ecole Normale Sup�rieure de Lyon) giving a general presentation of Loop Quantum Gravity: in pdf (1.1 Mb), and (the original version) keynote (1.3 Mb).
5. On the computation of n-point functions in quantum gravity: Here is a video (the first 20 seconds are silent, but then the sound appears), and here are the slides. This was at the Loop05 conference in Potsdam.
The center of my research interest is in quantum gravity. An old review article on loop quantum gravity has appeared on the electronic journal "Living Reviews in Relativity". You can find the article on here. You can get an (old) short live description of what I do here.
Interview on ARTE
A long interview, discussing aspects of the scientific research, can be found on the online site of the ARTE television chanel.
Course "la Naissance de la Science"
Webpage of the course La Naissance de la Science (The birth of Science) that I give at the Aix-Marseille University.
Images of loop quantum gravity
Here is an image of a three-dimensional model giving an intuitive picture of the "loopy" structure of space predicted by loop quantum gravity at very short scale. Here is another pretty loop-quantum-gravity image. It appeared in a 1993 Discover magazine article on loop quantum gravity.
