The problem of time in the quantization of gravity arises from the fact that time in Schroedinger's equation is a parameter. This sets time apart from the spatial coordinates, represented by operators in quantum mechanics (QM). Thus "time" in QM and "time" in General Relativity (GR) are seen as mutually incompatible notions. The introduction of a dy- namical time operator in relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM), that in the Heisenberg representation is also a function of the parameter t (iden…

A deeper understanding of how elementary particles can be seen, themselves, as ticking clocks, and to examine more broadly how they relate to time is developed.

The problem of time in quantum mechanics
The problem of time in quantum mechanics concerns the fact that in the Schrödinger equation time is a parameter, not an operator. Pauli’s objection to a time-energy uncertainty relation analogue to

It is argued that the interpretive problems of quantum gravity are not alleviated by the incorporation of observers into the theory, and a proposal for a formulation of canonical quantum gravity in which an appropriate nondynamical time parameter is present is made.

The Problem of Time occurs because the ‘time’ of GR and of ordinary Quantum Theory are mutually incompatible notions. This is problematic in trying to replace these two branches of physics with a
