Title: Corpuscular Structure of Geometry

Abstract:
We review some recent ideas on quantum-corpuscular structure of 
gravitational metric backgrounds, such as black holes and cosmological 
spaces. We show how this picture sheds light on seemingly-mysterious 
properties, such as, black hole information processing and evaporation, 
as well as how it excludes eternal de Sitter space.  This picture sheds 
a very different light on notion of "holography" and cosmological 
constant problem.
