Mitchell wrote: Gravity is a continuum. GR describes a classical theory. Quantum gravity shouldreduce to GR in the right limit, but won't describe a continuum. If there is a non-infinitesimal quantizing of the curved space-time interval then this shortest distance of events would seem to eliminate anything happening on any smaller scale. NOTHING COULD HAPPEN THERE. Ever heard of the Planck length? That's the length scale onwhich classical gravity has to break down and only be explainable by quantum effects. Ever hear of anyone doing an experiment that reveals what happens at the Planck length? You're charging at windmills. And you don't know what you're talking about. John Anderson |
