Some not-so-common ideas about gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-02-18 v1

Abstract

Most of the approaches to the construction of a theory of quantum gravity share some principles which do not have specific experimental support up to date. Two of these principles are relevant for our discussion: (i) the gravitational field should have a quantum description in certain regime, and (ii) any theory of gravity containing general relativity should be relational. We study in general terms the possible implications of assuming deviations from these principles, their compatibility with current experimental knowledge, and how can they affect future experiments.
