Bratteli and Robinson (2003), Operator Algebras and Quantum Statistical Mechanics. The theory describes space as a continuous, quantized, flexible 'field;' nowhere divided or divisible, but capable of discrete motions of compression and rebound. This book introduces the quantum mechanics of particles that move in curved space by employing path integrals and then using them to compute anomalies in quantum field theories. Relativity tells us that spacetime is curved, and that curvature causes the force of gravity. More precisely, a tensor (1,2) is a a linear operator that maps a point, a linear form field and two vector fields with a real scalar. Quantum Wave Theory proposes a new model of space. - Wald (1994), Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime. I use what I know (general relativity + quantum fields in slightly curved space) to probe the more mysterious issues (black hole entropy, quantum gravity, ). Perhaps suggesting a less dense area in space say nearer the center of a galaxy v/s the extreme perimeter light could travel faster or slower until it comes to the field we know and love here called Constants. There's actually a we call it a tensor (1,2). A very thin rubber sheet is a pretty good . So, in this article, we'll stick with a curved 2 dimension spacetime to illustrate Einstein's general relativity, like the one on the right, where I drew a possible trajectory in spacetime. ItAbstractThese notes are an expanded version of lectures given at the Croatian School on Black Holes atTrpanj, June 21-25, 2010. The professor why we wanted to quantize gravity, in the sense that we want to treat the metric on space-time as a quantum field, as opposed to, for example, just leaving the metric alone, and doing quantum field theory in curved space-time. Has the greatest theoretical physicist of all time really missed the bandwagon of quantum physics? Since the gravitational field is determined by the curvature of spacetime, that would mean on small scales, space would not be continuous and smooth, but rather would be violently curved and fluctuating up and down. - Guillemin and Sternberg (1990), Symplectic Techniques in Physics. Taking this into effect, then, requires, at the very least, a massive rewriting of quantum mechanics, as it could no longer treat space and time as fixed parameters. A recent study of gamma-ray bursts finds that spacetime is smoother on the quantum scale than expected. Then, there is the problem of quantization.
