ABSTRACT

Several approaches in quantum gravity suggest radical revisions of the standard notion of spacetime, and even its disappearance from the fundamental level of description. We discuss traditional conceptions of laws of nature in the light of these new suggestions about spacetime, and why they become untenable, and we indicate some possible ways to characterize the laws of nature in this quantum gravity context.
