General Relativity and Quantum Theory - Ontological Investigations
It is common to note that the two great theoretical frameworks of twentieth-century physics, quantum theory and general relativity, are prima facie incompatible. Within the physics community, the incompatibility is largely discussed on a technical level. In this paper, I would like to frame the problem more conceptually, focussing on the respective ontologies of the two frameworks. When I speak...
متن کاملQuantum Theory and Relativity
Elsewhere I describe some personal encounters with George Mackey [31]. Those discussions often returned to a common set of questions: • Does physics suggest a way to combine quantum theory, relativity, and interaction? • To what extent can one formulate such quantum physics as mathematics? • What is the present status of quantum field theory? • What new mathematics emerges? • What new insight d...
متن کاملA five-dimensional extension of general relativity and quantum theory
The torsion-free de Sitter reducible metric linear connection on a fivedimensional manifold is studied in conjunction with a method of constructing spacetime via a partially restricted reference cross section of the bundle of linear frames described in earlier publications. It leads to the equation Rαβ = (1/l)gαβ where l is a fundamental length, assumed to be the Planck length. It also yields t...
متن کاملQuantum and General Relativity Theories
Two of Lanczos’ seminal contributions in physics that are not generally known about in the physics community are discussed and commented in relation to more recent investigations: First, his integral formulation of the Schrödinger equation that he published just before Schrödinger himself published his differential equation formulation of quantum mechanics, and, second, his solution to the prob...
متن کاملQuantum Information and General Relativity
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox (1935) is reexamined in the light of Shannon’s information theory (1948). The EPR argument did not take into account that the observers’ information was localized, like any other physical object. General relativity introduces new problems: there are horizons which act as on-way membranes for the propagation of quantum information, in particular black holes wh...
