The amplitude of a wavefunction squared is proportional to the
probability of finding a particle at a position in space.
This squaring of the amplitude is often compared to the intensity
(energy density) of an electromagnetic wave.
The stress energy momentum tensor of general relativity contains
the term Too - the energy density.Can Too be related to the
square of the amplitude of the quantum mechanical wavefunction?
Is Too (and therefore the curvature of spacetime due to energy
density) proportional to the probability of finding a particle at a
position in space?
