From string theory and quantum gravity to dark matter and dark energy

I will introduce the concept of Born geometry that underlies general quantum non-locality, consistent with causality. I will then discuss a realization of Born geometry in string theory, viewed as a theory of quantum gravity, and show how Born geometry is represented in the zero mode sector. Finally, I will present a new picture of dark matter and dark energy in this formulation of quantum gravity.
