A 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.

TL;DR
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 'Why would an atmosphere without greenhouse gasses be colder than with them?'

Quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. Greenhouse gasses both warm and cool the atmosphere by slowing heat loss to space. But what would happen without GHGs? I read that the earth would be colder (though still relatively warm), but why? Without GHGs the atmosphere would still be a similar mass and still warmed by conduction from the surface, yet without a means to radiate that heat to space. Why wouldn't the atmosphere accumulate heat over time, becoming warmer? How...
