On the physical implications of Hawking's spacetime foam

Abstract

Hawking's spacetime foam model predicts that due to quantum fluctuations, spacetime is filled with black hole like objects. We argue that Hawking's model implies a cosmological constant of the observed order and that it can also be used to solve the problem of time in quantum gravity.
