Description
The IIB matrix model has been suggested as a a particular formulation
of nonperturbative superstring theory (M-theory).
It has now been realized that an emerging classical spacetime must
reside in its large-N master field.
The master field of the Lorentzian IIB matrix model can, in principle,
give rise to the regularized-big-bang metric of general relativity.
The length parameter of the regularized-big-bang metric is then calculated
in terms of the IIB-matrix-model length scale.
