Description

Many tentative quantum gravity theories, from the Wheeler-deWitt equation to Loop Quantum Gravity, do not specify a time variable, and yet they are predictive. The discussion to clarify this strangeness has been long, but has been resolved and the issue should not be controversial anymore. I give a rapid and simple overview of the solution.
