Zaanen, Prof Jan (Professor of theoretical physic, Professor of theoretical physic, Institute of Physics, Leiden University, The Netherlands)

On Time: Causality and the Quantum Gravity Conflict

The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery: Riemannian geometry and Penrose diagrams, thermal quantum fields, quantum non-equilibrium and more, are explained conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.
