References (Beware!) edit

Unfortunately, the phrase "semiclassical gravity" is easily confused with "the semiclassical approximation" in quantum gravity.

The latter refers to using a WKB-like approximation when solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This is not the same as Semiclassical gravity! For this reason, I removed the reference

  • Claus Kiefer, "The semiclassical approximation to quantum gravity." Eprint arXiv:gr-qc/9312015.

This may be controversial, so I noted it in the talk page. Discussion is welcome :) --Pqnelson (talk) 21:44, 14 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
