Title |
Consistent, local quantum field theory of gravity | |||||
| Coauthors | ||||||||
|
Abstract |
A consistent, local quantum field theory of the gravitational interactions is proposed. I discuss its features (renormalizability, unitarity, uniqueness, analyticity, causality, stability) and its main physical predictions. |

Title |
Violations of microcausality from quantum gravity | |||||
| Coauthors | ||||||||
|
Abstract |
A recently formulated consistent, local quantum field theory of gravity predicts that at small distances present, past and future lose meaning, as well as cause and effect. Moreover, the theory contains certain "fake particles" which get a negative width from the radiative corrections. I address these issues and the possibility to confirm the phsical predictions experimentally. |
