Abstract:
Starting from the
action function 
, we have derived a theoretical background that leads tothe
quantization of gravity 
and the deduction of a correlation between the gravitational and the inertialmasses, which depends on the
kinetic 
 
momentum 
of the particle. We show that the strong equivalenceprinciple is reaffirmed and, consequently, Einstein's equations are preserved. In fact, such equationsare deduced here directly from this new approach to Gravitation. Moreover, we have obtained ageneralized equation for the inertial forces, which incorporates the Mach's principle into Gravitation.Also, we have deduced the equation of Entropy; the Hamiltonian for a particle in an electromagneticfield and the reciprocal fine structure constant directly from this new approach. It was also possible todeduce the expression of the
Casimir force 
and to explain the
Inflation Period 
and the
Missing Matter,
 without assuming existence of
vacuum fluctuations 
. This
 
new approach to Gravitation will allow us tounderstand some crucial matters in Cosmology.

1. INTRODUCTION
 Quantum Gravity was originallystudied, by Dirac and others, as theproblem of quantizing GeneralRelativity. This approach presentsmany difficulties, detailed by Isham[1]. In the 1970's, physicists tried aneven more conventional approach:simplifying Einstein's equations byassuming that they are
almost linear 
,and then applying the standardmethods of quantum field theory tothe thus oversimplified equations. Butthis method, too, failed. In the 1980'sa very different approach, known asstring theory, became popular. Thusfar, there are many enthusiasts ofstring theory. But the mathematicaldifficulties in string theory areformidable, and it is far from clear thatthey will be resolved any time soon.At the end of 1997, Isham [2] pointedout several "Structural ProblemsFacing Quantum Gravity Theory". Atthe beginning of this new century,the problem of quantizing thegravitational field was still open.In this work, we propose a newapproach to Quantum Gravity.Starting from the generalization of the
action function 
we have derived atheoretical background that leads tothe quantization of gravity. Einstein'sGeneral Relativity equations arededuced directly from this theory ofQuantum Gravity. Also, this theoryleads to a complete description of theElectromagnetic Field, providing aconsistent unification of gravity withelectromagnetism.
2. THEORY
We start with the
action 
for afree-particle that, as we know, isgiven by
∫ 
=
ba
dsS
α 
where
α 
is a quantity whichcharacterizes the particle.In Relativistic Mechanics, theaction can be written in the followingform [3]:
dt cc Ldt S
∫

α 
where

cc L
=
α 
is the Lagrange's function.In Classical Mechanics, theLagrange's function for a free-particleis, as we know, given by:where

inertial mass 
) neitherabout its sign

.The correlation between and

can be established based on thefact that, on the limit , therelativistic expression for
