Gravitational fields and quantum mechanics

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Several kinds of measurements of gravitational fields are here qualitatively discussed. It is shown that no one of them yields satisfactory results if the region in which the field is measured has linear dimensions smaller thanL = Gh/c 2.

Riassunto

In questo lavoro vengono discussi alcuni metodi di misura del campo gravitazionale. Semplici considerazioni di carattere fisico permettono di deduire che nessuno di essi puÒ considerarsi soddisfacente se la regione in cui il valore medio del campo è determinato ha dimensioni lineari più piccole diL = Gh/c 2.
