Black hole evaporation is an effect of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. This test with observing radio data from dstant quasars lensed by the solar gravity field puts gamma as unity to four orders of magnitude. Uniting gravity theory with quantum theory is a major goal of 21st-Century physics, . Nameless says: November 21, 2012 at 4:48 pm. Davies has published over 100 research papers in the fields of black holes, cosmology, and quantum field theory in curved spacetime. His monograph on Quantum Fields in Curved Space, remains a seminal text in the field of quantum gravity. Know that the above stuff converges properly to something which makes sense. But if you want to know things like the rate of radiation and the Temperature spectrum of what comes out, you need to do quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetime. In 1997, Juan Maldacena made the startling conjecture that theories of gravity on curved spaces are equivalent to ordinary quantum field theories confined to the boundaries of those spaces. Quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit radiation like a black body with a finite temperature. It's not a quantum gravitational effect, that's the exact reason why it's been dissected since decades. Its also in the lecture series he gave, “Quantum FIeld Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodyanmics”. €�Measuring the curvature of space caused by gravity is one of the most sensitive ways to learn how Einstein's theory of General Relativity relates to quantum physics.
