Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal · She Says Spacetime Points Are Just Where Fields Meet · 14 Sep 2026 podcast

I see it. voice-verified

Or is there something absolute? voice-verified

Actually, most of the time when I speak to people who are relationalists, I find that they have some invariant structure underneath. voice-verified

Even special relativity, Felix Klein wanted to call it the theory of invariance to Einstein. voice-verified

So sometimes relationality is not the correct word. voice-verified

There's something still, maybe the bundle structure is the invariant structure. voice-verified

Elimativist. voice-verified

So to say two dressed descriptions describe the same physics, then don't you need something like a global bundle, its automorphism group of the diffeomorphism of that manifold and then the gauge transformations and some perspective neutral moduli space or no? voice-verified

Like, don't you need something that's invariant underneath that? voice-verified

would voice-verified

When we were speaking off air, you mentioned that in loop quantum gravity, relationality is made more apparent. voice-verified

It's manifest. voice-verified

Not so much in string theory. voice-verified

It may be there. voice-verified

I mean, but that's my question is, well, what is it that's different about loop quantum gravity such that relationality hits you right in the face? voice-verified

Whereas when you studied your master's and PhD are in string theory, but it was de-emphasized or what? voice-verified

Like what's going on? voice-verified

explain what you mean when you say tacit relationality versus manifest relationality earlier you also mentioned that with gr with local symmetries are tacitly relational and then something else was manifestly relational like when the person hears this they think if something is tacitly so-and-so in this case relational then it is relational like it's just it's saying that it's there but you just need to look a bit closer voice-verified

What is the big problem that you're trying to solve? voice-verified

Some physicists think that one of the issues, the major issues at the heart of quantum gravity is time is treated differently in GR than in quantum mechanics. voice-verified
