Congratulations to S. Carlip

Although it is late, I think Prof. Carlip deserves a congratulations
for winning
the first prize in the 2007 gravity research foundation essay contest.

I have learnt a lot of GR from his posts on usenet and he deserves our
kudos
for that also.

I don't think it's possible to have quantum-gravity and I guess it's not
usefull to try this. If you perform a Wick rotation on curvature of
spacetime, you get thermodynamics, what is the quantum equivalent to gravity
within the realm of quantum-physics. But to research geometric relations
with a theory that does not provide geometric relations is not recommended.
GR is the appropriate tool for relations while QM is the tool for fields and
objects.

A simple "congratulations from me too" would suffice.
