Graduate Looking for the earliest articles about Quantum Gravity

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the earliest articles related to quantum gravity, specifically those predating Matyevei. Bryce DeWitt is highlighted as a key figure in the field, often referred to as the grandfather of modern quantum gravity, alongside John Archibald Wheeler. Participants suggest reviewing DeWitt's and Wheeler's literature for historical insights. Additionally, the 1935 work of Bronstein is mentioned as a significant early contribution to quantum gravity. The conversation emphasizes the importance of exploring these foundational texts for a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

foundation of quantum gravity
I am looking for first articles of quantum gravity in the history which before Matyevei. What is earliest articles of quantum gravity and how can ı find them?

Bryce DeWitt is considered the grandfather of modern Quantum Gravity by some scholars.. A thorough review of his literature as well as the literature of John Archibald Wheeler should yield some good results for your research into the historical origins of Quantum Gravity. Good luck! https://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utcah/00413/cah-00413.html
 

Thread 'Is this a coincidence?... (distances between planets)'

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
