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 'Gravitational effects of a small black hole passing your body'

Abstract The gravitational effects of a Primordial Black Hole (PBH) passing through the human body are examined, with the goal of determining the minimum mass necessary to produce significant injury or death. Two effects are examined: The damage caused by a shock wave propagating outward from the black hole trajectory, and the dissociation of brain cells from tidal forces produced by the black hole on its passage through the human body. It is found that the former is the dominant effect...
