A different perspective on the problem of time in quantum gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2019-05-27 v1

Abstract

The perspective is advanced that the time parameter in quantum mechanics corresponds to the time coordinate in a Minkowski flat spacetime local approximation to the actual dynamical curved spacetime of General Relativity, rather than to an external Newtonian reference frame. There is no incompatibility, as generally assumed in the extensively discussed "problem of time" in Quantum Gravity.
