It is argued that some approaches to non-perturbative quantum general relativity lack a sensible continuum limit that reproduces general relativity. The basic problem is that generic physical states lack long ranged correlations, because…

Experiments and numerical data on the correlation length for large S disagree strongly with the theoretical prediction based on the effective field theory prescription of the magnon physics. The reason is that for large S, at any accessible…
