I have been reading a Weinberg paper (the cosmological constant problem), where he writes

"...Zeldovich assumed that these were canceled leaving only the higher order effects: in particulal, the gravitational force between the particles in the vacuum fluctuations. (In Feynman diagram terms, this corresponds to throwing away te one-loop graphs, but keeping those with two loops"

Can someone help me understand this. I thought QFT said nothing about gravity. Why do the two loops correspond to the gravitational force??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
anyone??

:)
 
You might have better luck if you cite the paper.
 
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
