Phys. Rev. D 39, 2216–2228 (1989)Probabilistic time in quantum gravityReceived 7 November 1988; published in the issue dated 15 April 1989 The concept of time and its relation with probability in quantum gravity is studied. It is argued that the notion of probability is better defined when the topology is fixed. A ‘‘probabilistic time’’ is then introduced. It coincides with the proper time, in the classical limit, and yields a parabolic field equation, i.e., the Schrödinger equation. © 1989 The American Physical Society URL:
