Abstract
We elaborate on the idea of fake particle and study its physical consequences. When a theory contains fakeons, the true classical limit is determined by the quantization and a subsequent process of ?classicization?. One of the major predictions due to the fake particles is the violation of microcausality, which survives the classical limit. This fact gives hope to detect the violation experimentally. A fakeon of spin two, together with a scalar feld, is able to make quantum gravity renormalizable while preserving unitarity. We claim that the theory of quantum gravity emerging from this construction is the right one. By means of the classicization, we work out the corrections to the feld equations of general relativity. We show that the fnalized equations have, in simple terms, the form F = ma, where F is an average that includes a little bit of ?future?.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
