Abstract

According to the formula of translational motion of vector along an infinitesimal closed curve in gravitational space, this article shows that the space and time both are quantized; the called center singularity of Schwarzschild metric does not exist physically, and Einstein’s theory of gravity is compatible with the traditional quantum theory in essence; the quantized gravitational space is just the spin network which consists of infinite quantized loops linking and intersecting each other, and that whether the particle is in spin eigenstate depends on the translational track of its spin vector in gravitational space.
