    Supports→If the gravitational field remained classical while coupled to quantum matter, one could violate the uncertainty relations.

    By measuring the classical gravitational field one could discover properties of the quantized matter to which it is coupled, bypassing the uncertainty relations.

    In earlier research on quantum gravity it was often supposed that if there was at least one quantum field in the world together with the gravitational field, then given the universal coupling of the gravitational field, it must follow that the quantization of the one field somehow infects the gravitational field, implying that it must necessarily have quantum properties too. The arguments basically involve the consideration of a mass prepared in a superposition of position eigenstates. If the gr
