摘要
We provide further evidence that the canonical quantization of cosmological models eliminates the classical Big Bang singularity, using the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics. We compute the 'local expectation value' of the Ricci and Kretschmann scalars, for some quantum FRW models. We show that they are finite for all time. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
