Abstract:Inspired by Einstein’s Strong Principle of Equivalence, we consider the effects of quantum mechanics to the gravity-like phenomena experienced by an observer in a uniformly accelerating motion in flat spacetime. Among other things, our model of quantum gravity, derived from the first principles, predicts the Unruh effect, and a discrete area spectrum for spacelike two-surfaces.
