Spacetime instability due to quantum gravity

Abstract We show that quantum gravity yields exponentially growing gravitational waves. Without a mechanism to stop these modes from growing, the universe would go through a gravitational collapse. For Minkowski background, we propose a solution by choosing an integration contour in Fourier space th...
