The Quantization Program for General Relativity

  • Conference paper
Relativity

The problem of the construction of a quantum theory of gravitation is attacked by a variety of methods. The fundamental epistemological difficulties are ellucidated and certain novel qualitative features of the sought-for quantum theory are described.
