Sundance Bilson-Thompson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Sundance O. Bilson-Thompson is an Australian theoretical particle physicist. He has developed the idea that certain preon models may be represented topologically, rather than by treating preons as pointlike particles. His ideas have attracted interest in the field of loop quantum gravity, as they may represent a way of incorporating the Standard Model into loop quantum gravity. This would make loop quantum gravity a candidate theory of everything. He was a Visiting Academic at the University of Adelaide before becoming a full-time academic at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
