Symmetry, Volume 11, Issue 3

2019 March - 146 articles

Cover Story: Classically, the mass can be placed freely in a point, in the quantum mechanical space-time (ST) it is difficult to add matter into the same place: different Sts, different gravities. The Brans–Dicke gravity contains a field of obscure readings. The quantum-mechanical gravity shows how this field is connected to the quantum equations. View this paper.
