  K-State mathematician receives grant to study gravity, black holes and possible future space travel
Louis Crane, professor of mathematics at K-State, will use a $135,247 grant from The Foundational Questions Institute to complete an interpretation he helped create of a model for quantum gravity, the BC model.
Crane said his interpretation would be applied to small fl holes to see how their formation, radiation and interaction with matter differs from the semiclassical predictions.
Crane also wants to take his research one more step: to see how it might be used for possible interstellar space travel in the future.

 University of Delaware: LOUIS UNTERMEYER PAPERS
Anthologist and poet Louis Untermeyer was born October 1, 1885, in New York City.
Louis Untermeyer was most noted for the anthologies of poetry which he compiled and edited.
For example, the only letter from Louis Golding to Untermeyer consists of a four-page autobiographical monologue, which includes a lengthy discussion of his experiences in World War I. Hart Crane's two-page letter to Untermeyer contrasts in detail his poetry with the poetry of T.S. Eliot.

With a fleet of approximately 30 cranes ranging in size from 8.5-ton carry decks to 350-ton hydraulic cranes, Budrovich says the acquisition will broaden its services since St. Louis Crane offers smaller cranes and shorter minimum-rental requirements.
“St. Louis Crane was the perfect fit, with some of the smaller cranes such as boom trucks and sigh cranes, which have a shorter minimum rental requirement.
Besides its crane assets, Budrovich hired several of the St. Louis Crane operators and office personnel.

 Spinfoam idea for energy source (Louis Crane--FQXi)
LOUIS CRANE co-author of the Barrett-Crane spinfoam model.
It would be interesting to compare the crane results with ones obtained using canonical LQG and "minisuperspace" techniques wich state that there is a minimal mass for the formation of fl holes due to the repulsive behaviour of gravity at very small scales.
I would not expect Crane's theory of small fl holes to agree with what we read in papers of Bojowald and others, using LQG and minisuperspace (symmetry reduced) methods.

 [No title]
Louis Crane has been doing a lot of excellent work on topological quantum field theory for the last few years, strongly advocating the use of category theory as a unifying principle in physics (essentially as an extension of the concept of symmetry embodied in *group* theory), but this is quite different in flavor.
Indeed, Crane calls his hypothesis the "meduso-anthropic hypothesis," after certain jellyfish with a two-stage life cycle in which medusids produce polyps and vice versa.
This has the charm of completely destroying the usual approach (dare I say "paradigm"?) of physics in which the parameters of the universe are regarded as indifferent to the existence of intelligence.
