# A different perspective on the problem of time in quantum gravity

## TL;DR

This paper proposes that the time parameter in quantum mechanics should be viewed as the local Minkowski time in curved spacetime, resolving the traditional 'problem of time' in quantum gravity.

## Contribution

It offers a new perspective that aligns quantum mechanical time with local Minkowski coordinates, challenging the conventional view of an incompatible 'problem of time' in quantum gravity.

## Key findings

- Reinterprets quantum mechanical time as local Minkowski time.
- Argues against the notion of an inherent 'problem of time' in quantum gravity.
- Provides a conceptual framework linking quantum mechanics and general relativity.

## Abstract

The perspective is advanced that the time parameter in quantum mechanics corresponds to the time coordinate in a Minkowski flat spacetime local approximation to the actual dynamical curved spacetime of General Relativity, rather than to an external Newtonian reference frame. There is no incompatibility, as generally assumed in the extensively discussed "problem of time" in Quantum Gravity.
