Abstract
We show that the real existence of quantum-events, resulting from spontaneously broken unitary-evolution by quantum-transactions, can explain the dynamic metric of space-time, governed by Einstein’s equation, if light-clocks are being used to measure the rhythm of events. In the derivation of Einstein’s equation there naturally arises a term for a cosmological constant Λ.
Highlights
There has been a long-standing quest for a theory of quantum-gravity and promising candidates like string-theory or loop-quantum gravity are widely discussed today
Starting from a few foundational assumptions in quantum physics, we develop a theory of space-time in the flavor of emerging gravity
The paper is organized as follows: in paragraph 2 we briefly introduce the transactional interpretation and some of its key tenets, which are important for our work
Summary
There has been a long-standing quest for a theory of quantum-gravity and promising candidates like string-theory or loop-quantum gravity are widely discussed today. There are other routes towards harmonizing relativity with quantum theory, where gravity is not being treated as a fundamental but an emerging force All these attempts are closely linked to the metaphysical question, what space, time and matter are, even if this question does normally not stand at the first place in developing mathematical models of nature [1]. The paper is organized as follows: in paragraph 2 we briefly introduce the transactional interpretation and some of its key tenets, which are important for our work We do this without entering into the details of the theory and the reader is referred to [6] for a comprehensive exposition.
