Martin Bojowald

Martin Bojowald (born 18 February 1973 in Jülich) is a German physicist who now works on the faculty of the Penn State Physics Department,[1] where he is a member of the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos.[2] Prior to joining Penn State he spent several years at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics[3] in Potsdam, Germany. He works on loop quantum gravity and physical cosmology and is credited with establishing the sub-field of loop quantum cosmology.

gollark: The problem is that by adding yet more indirection between whoever is buying it and who is paying, you reduce the incentives for the prices to actually be sane.

gollark: The "free college" thing seems like a terrible idea which will just inflate prices wildly.

gollark: He is too leftistest for me. I don't like his policies.

gollark: Vote Random Emu!
