Abstract
In preparation for our study of quantum-gravity problems we shall start with a discussion of the relation between wave mechanics and General Relativity Theory. This discussion played a great role in the development of modern physics and contains, in a nutshell, a lot of the problems which arise later in quantum gravity. It refers mainly to the question of the compatibility of the quantum principle and the weak principle of equivalence, more specifically, to the compatibility of de Broglie’s relation λ = ℏ/Mv and the identity of the inertial and passive gravitational masses, M = m (cf., von Borzeszkowski and Treder, 1982a, b;Treder, 1982).
