Localization and the Semiclassical Limit in Quantum Field Theories
... The question now is whether classical relativistic particles and their dynamical evolution can be also recovered from the quantized bosonic fields in the limit ~ → 0. An important problem here is to identify appropriate localized states and position operators in the context of relativistic quantum ...

... If the vacuum is full of all this stuff shouldn’t we be pulled gravitationally by it? Since it is uniformily distributed there is no net pull (equal space to all sides) But General Relativity says the energy should uniformily curve space-time… the Universe should be the size of a grapefruit!! ...

The two systems do not directly contradict each other; but they seem little adapted to fusion into one unified theory. For th ...
