Abstract
Open-access reader
I give a synthetic presentation of loop quantum gravity. I present the aims of the theory and compare the results obtained with the initial hopes that motivated the early interest in this research direction. I give my own perspective on the status of the program and attempt for a critical evaluation of its successes and limitations.
