ONCE MORE ON INFINITIES

The infinities in by QM and GR have bothered physicists for some time,
for the simple reason that they (reasonably) doubt that real infinities
can exist. 

As I have already said, and suggested a book to read on the subject,
there has been considerable work on unifying QM and GR, and along the
way this work gets rid of the infinities in both theories. To repeat,
the book is by Leo Smolin, THREE ROADS TO QUANTUM GRAVITY.

           Best wishes and long long life to all,

                Thomas Donaldson

PS: The opposition to infinities isn't to infinities of time or 
space ie. the possibility that we could travel forever and never come
back to our starting point, but to LOCAL infinities, for instance
of gravitational force.
