Epistemology of Canonical Quantum Gravity - Loop Quantum Gravity

Abstract

In the interpretation of canonical quantum gravity (CQG), gravity appears as a geometric pseudoforce, is reduced to spacetime geometry and becomes a simple effect of spacetime curvature. The scale at which quantum gravitational effects occur is determined by the different physical constants of fundamental physics: h, c and G, which characterize quantum, relativistic and gravitational phenomena. By combining these constants, we obtain the Planck constants at which the effects of quantum gravity must manifest. Loop quantum gravity attempts to unify gravity with the other three fundamental forces starting with relativity and adding quantum traits. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.10368.58889
