The necessity of quantizing the gravitational field
Foundations of Physics 7 (1-2):51-68 (1977)
Abstract
The assumption that a classical gravitational field interacts with a quantum system is shown to lead to violations of either momentum conservation or the uncertainty principle, or to result in transmission of signals faster thanc. A similar argument holds for the electromagnetic fieldOther Versions
