“…One of the most debated questions in the famous 1957 Chapel Hill conference on "The Role of Gravitation in Physics" was whether or not the gravitational field has to be quantized 11 . Feynman proposed several gedanken experiments in order to argue in favor of the necessity of gravitational quantization, and hinting to decoherence as a viable solution to the problem of wave function collapse 12 . Feynman believed that nature cannot be half classical and half quantum; therefore, we had the unified field theories.…”

“…Indeed, the first written records of Feynman's musings on gravity date back to that conference, which is therefore assumed as a starting point for our reconstruction. We then retrace his subsequent contributions to the research in quantum gravity until the late sixties (for a detailed account see (Di Mauro et al 2021)), where he stopped working on the subject.…”
