| Title: |
Quantum Physics, Relativity, and Noncommutative Geometry |
| Abstract: |
Quantum Physics and Special Relativity meet in the Principle of
Locality, which is the heart of Quantum Field Theory, when gravitational
forces among elementary particles can be neglected.
Yet their pacific coexistence in the Measurement Process is still
questioned; we argue that it is not in doubt.
Quantum Physics and General Relativity, however, are not known to
pacifically coexist, nor to meet in any equally sharp variant of the
Locality Principle.
We discuss how they imply a noncommutative picture of Spacetime, and we
describe the spectrum of the distance, area and volume operators on
Quantum Spacetime.
