Does wave function collapse cause gravity?

TL;DR

This paper explores the hypothesis that wave function collapse influences gravity, proposing a framework where quantum collapse affects gravitational field emergence, and reconciles this with classical principles.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective on wave function collapse impacting gravity, extending a previous Newtonian collapse theory to align with the equivalence principle.

Findings

Proposes a model linking wave function collapse to gravity

Reconciles quantum collapse with classical gravity principles

Suggests a new approach to quantum-gravity interplay

Abstract

We give a twist to the assumption - discussed in various earlier works - that gravity plays a role in the collapse of the wave function. This time we discuss the contrary assumption that the collapse of the wave function plays a role in the emergence of the gravitational field. We start from the mathematical framework of a particular Newtonian gravitational collapse theory proposed by the author longtime ago, and we reconciliate it with the classical equivalence principle.
