This research constitutes the first large-scale effort to unpack and make sense of the development of quantum gravity. Given the pressing nature of this problem and its importance for our worldview, such a study would be of great benefit to several sectors of the academic community. By giving a global perspective of the field from its origins those outside the field will be able to appreciate its importance and its place in contemporary physics. Quantum gravity researchers will be able to see how their preferred approach fits into the web of research programmes, thus opening the door for greater collaboration between the various approaches. This research will greatly enhance Australia's position in this breakthrough science.

这项研究构成了解开量子引力发展的第一个大规模努力。鉴于这一问题的紧迫性及其对我们世界观的重要性，这样一项研究将对学术界的几个部门大有裨益。通过从其起源给出该领域的全球视角，该领域之外的人将能够理解其重要性及其在当代物理学中的地位。量子引力研究人员将能够看到他们首选的方法如何适应研究计划的网络，从而为各种方法之间的更大合作打开大门。这项研究将大大提高澳大利亚在这一突破性科学中的地位。
