Quantum Gravity in Everyday Life: General Relativity as an Effective Field Theory
Living Reviews in Relativity, 2004 This article is meant as a summary and introduction to the ideas of effective field theory as applied to gravitational systems, ideas which provide the theoretical foundations for the modern use of general relativity as a theory from which precise ...

The Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment
Living Reviews in Relativity, 2006 The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analyzing them is reviewed. Einstein’s equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the Eötvös experiment, tests of special relativity, and ...

Quantum signatures in nonlinear gravitational waves [PDF]
Quantum, 2022 The effective quantum field theory description of gravity, despite its non-renormalizability, allows for predictions beyond classical general relativity.

Towards Multifractality through an Ernst-Type Potential in Complex Systems Dynamics
Entropy, 2023 Some possible correspondences between the Scale Relativity Theory and the Space–Time Theory can be established. Since both the multifractal Schrödinger equation from the Scale Relativity Theory and the General Relativity equations for a gravitational ...

"Mysteries" of modern physics and the fundamental constants c, h, and G
Quanta, 2022 We review how the kinematic structures of special relativity and quantum mechanics both stem from the relativity principle, i.e., "no preferred reference frame" (NPRF). Essentially, NPRF applied to the measurement of the speed of light c gives the light

An Improved Framework for Quantum Gravity
Universe, 2020 General relativity has two fundamental problems that render it unsuitable for tackling the gravitational field’s quantization. The first problem is the lack of a genuine gravitational variable representing gravitation only, inertial forces apart.

A Postquantum Theory of Classical Gravity?
Physical Review X, 2023 The effort to discover a quantum theory of gravity is motivated by the need to reconcile the incompatibility between quantum theory and general relativity.

Black Hole Surface Gravity in Doubly Special Relativity Geometries
Universe, 2022 In a quantum gravity theory, spacetime at mesoscopic scales can acquire a novel structure very different from the classical concept of general relativity.

Renormalizable and Unitary Lorentz Invariant Model of Quantum Gravity
Universe, 2021 We analyze the R+R2 model of quantum gravity where terms quadratic in the curvature tensor are added to the General Relativity action. This model was recently proved to be a self-consistent quantum theory of gravitation, being both renormalizable and ...

Quantum dynamics corresponding to the chaotic BKL scenario
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 We quantize the solution to the Belinski– Khalatnikov–Lifshitz (BKL) scenario using the integral quantization method. Quantization smears the gravitational singularity, preventing its localization in the configuration space.
