Abstract
- The problem of time in the quantization of gravity arises from the fact that time in Schrödinger's equation is a parameter. This sets time apart from the spatial coordinates, represented by operators in quantum mechanics (QM). Thus "time" in QM and "time" in general relativity (GR) are seen as mutually incompatible notions. The introduction of a dynamical time operator in relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM), that follows from the canonical quantization of special relativity and that in the Heisenberg picture is also a function of the parameter t (identified as the laboratory time), prompts to examine whether it can help to solve the disfunction referred to above. In particular, its application to the conditional interpretation of time in the canonical quantization approach to quantum gravity is developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
