Padmanabhan, T.2012-03-032012-03-031983-08-15http://hdl.handle.net/11007/173A model for quantum gravity can be constructed by treating the conformal degree of freedom spacetime as a quantum variable. An isotropic, homogeneous cosmological solution in this quantum gravity model is presented. The spacetime is nonsingular for all the three possible values of three-space curvature, and agrees with the classical solution for time scales larger than the Plank time scale. A possibility of quantum fluctuations creating the matter in the universe is suggested.enPlank time scaleQuantum gravity modelCosmological solutionArticle
