Abstract
Recently,1 it was shown that quantum effects of matter could be identified with the conformal degree of freedom of the space–time metric. Accordingly, one can introduce quantum effects either by making a scale transformation (i.e. changing the metric), or by making a conformal transformation (i.e. changing all physical quantities). These two ways are investigated and compared. Also, it is argued that, the ultimate formulation of such a quantum gravity theory should be in the framework of the scalar–tensor theories.
