نویسنده
چکیده
A general definition of a clock is proposed, and the role of clocks in establishing temporal pre-conditions in quantum mechanical questions is critically discussed. The different status of clocks as used by theorists external to a system and as used by participant-observers within a system is emphasized. It is shown that the foliation of spacetime into instants of time is necessary to correctly interpret the readings of clocks and that clocks are thus insufficient to reconstruct time in the absence of such a foliation. ∗[email protected]

In this pedagogical note, I present a method for constructing a fully covariant normal coordinate expansion of the gauge potential on a curved space-time manifold. Although the content of this paper is elementary, the results may prove useful in some applications and have not, to the best of my knowledge, been discussed explicitly in the literature.

The two dimensional substructure of general relativity and gravity, and the two dimensional geometry of quantum effect by black hole are disclosed. Then the canonical quantization of the two dimensional theory of gravity is performed. It is shown that the resulting uncertainty relations can explain black hole quantum effects. A quantum gravitational length is also derived which can clarify the ...

The dynamics of the Bianchi IX cosmological model with minimally coupled massive real scalar field is studied. The possibility of non-singular transition from contraction to expansion is shown. A set of initial conditions that lead to non-singular solutions is studied numerically.
