| dc.description | Quantum Gravity has been so elusive because we have tried to approach it by two paths which can never meet: standard quantum field theory and general relativity. The gateway is covariance under the complexified Clifford algebra of our space-time manifold M, and its spinor representations, which Sachs dubbed the Einstein group, E. On the microscopic scale, quantum gravity appears as the statistical mechanics of the null zig-zag rays of spinor fields in imaginary time T. Our unified field/particle action L_g also contains new couplings of gravitomagnetic fields to strong fields and weak potentials. These predict new physical phenomena: Axial jets of nuclear decay products emitted with left helicity along the axis of a massive, spinning body. | |
